Automate Word - File In Use

Hi,
I'm attempting to automate word to load a document. I have no problem if
Word isn't loaded yet as creating a new Word.ApplicationClass() loads it for
me. However, there will be times when Word is already loaded and I want to
connect to that copy (and check whether the document is already loaded).

When Word is already loaded, creating a new Word.ApplicationClass() loads
another copy of Word and tries to load my document again. I then get an
error message telling me the file is in use.

I'm having some problems working out how to get the ApplicationClass if an
already running copy of Word... anyone know how I do that?

Thanks
Steve
