Macro in Word2007 open another program?

[DaveBethel]

can I use a macro in Word2007 to open and access another program?

Yes. But exactly how, depends upon what that program is.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/OfficeInterdev.htm

and particularly

See the article "Control Excel from Word†at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlXLFromWord.htm
or the article "Control Outlook from Word†at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlOLFromWord.htm

Then there is also the Shell command in VBA.
