Annoying Word backups can be easily removed recursively from any top path with this handy AppleScript. It looks for files named Backup...doc, and a couple others that Word has up its sleeve. I'm happy to share, but if you use it, email me and let me know! Better yet, if you improve it, send me your changes (and/or post them here in the comments).
[robg adds: I think you'll only have these files if you've enabled the "Always create backup copy" in Word's Save preferences. I haven't tested the script, but I did look through it, and it seems to do what it claims. If you're going to use it, though, I'd suggest using it in the "move files" mode, just to make sure it only removes the backup files you want it to.]
