According to MSWord Help I can add a switch option (/n) to the path, to make
the program start without making an empty document.
However, I can't seem to find any field or path in the normal 'Windows2000
Start - Programs - MSWord' link under its properties. Am I overlooking
something? How can I achieve this?

Create you own shortcut to WinWord.exe

Right, this seems to work. No idea why I couldn't just adapt the existing
link though...



Thanks.

because of the way the "link" is made.

It might work if you were to modify the registry entry from which the link
is constructed, but then again, it might not.

I try not to "adjust" the "factory shortcuts" Office puts there. A
Detect and repair will put the originals back, and the user wonders what
happened.
