Scroll Lyrics under MIDI control

I'm looking for a way to scroll lyrics under MIDI control.
Will MIDI-Ox or MIDI-Yoke do this? It could be as simple as sending an ASCII page-down code to a word processor.

You might be able to accomplish this using MIDI-OX plus a Windows Script Host (WSH) script.

Thanks Jamie. 
I did some experimenting with Midi-Yoke and Bome's Midi Translator ( at http://bome.com/midi/translator/ ).
It actually works! Still a bit glitchy, but I think I can get it to work. Right now I have to open a word processor with the song file, then ALT-TAB to Ableton Live to start the sequencer. At the proper time, the screen flips to the word processor (I had Bome's Midi Translator watch for a certain little-used MIDI controller, after which it issued an ALT-TAB). Then, as Live continues to run, I embedded another controller to trigger PAGE-DOWN keystrokes at appropriate intervals. Midi-Yoke provides the "virtual" MIDI patch cable between Live and Bome's Midi Translator.
To really be usable, though, I'll need a way for a Live set to load a SPECIFIC word processor song file, instead of me manually cueing it up ahead of time. This may require some VBScripting.
