Running word in silent mode

H

halsnes

We have an application which communicates with Word through the
DDE-interface. The application creates VBA macros which is used to build
rather complex Word documents, and everything works fine. This process may
however tak minutes, and we have to watch Word taking control of the screen
while the work is being done.

Is there a way to start Word in some kind of a background mode (silent mode)
and have Word execute the macros in this way?

Make the application invisible:

Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.visible = false
