AppleScript: Get the name of the current font of Microsoft Word

I am new to Applescript, I would like to get the name of the current font of Microsoft Word. I tried the following code:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
    tell selection
        tell font
            name
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

But executing this script prints the following error message:

error: "Can't get name of font." number -1728 from name of <<class w137>>

What's the problem of my code? And what do -1728 and w137 mean?
