Word merge documents from Access

[Carol Giannini]

Using hyperlink/follow code to open a Word document from a command button on
an Access form works fine, EXCEPT that the document opens as a 1"x1/4"
mini-window. Is there a way to maximize the Word window after it opens?

Two options I can think of:

1. You could try using Create Object (see Access help) to create an instance
of Word which you can then manipulate programmatically. You can then simply
pass the Word command to maximise the window.

2. There are probably API calls detailed on the web that would let you
determine the 'handle' of the Word window and let you maximise it.

I would go with the first option as it will be simpler.
