Controlling Word 2007 from Another Office Program (in this case, Access)

L

LA Lawyer

I presume that this is a fairly common issue. Using Access 2007, I want to:

1. Determine if MS Word 2007 is running or not. If it is open, I want to
open a new document so that I can run some Word code. If Word is not open,
I want to open it and do my thing. I do NOT need the user to see this being
done, especially if it slows down the process.

2. Once I am done, I want to return Word to its prior state.

How is this done?
