Minimizing the word document does not work.

[Guest]

I have wrritten a OCX component in VB. The VB code creates a WORD Application
then it minimizes the word application and kicks of the word spell check
feature. The problem si the word document does not get minizmed and stays on
the screen. I dont want to see the word doument on screen it should jsut
appear on the taskvbar at bottm and hence I have minimized it. Is there a
soultion for this?

CODE
Set myDoc = CreateObject("Word.Application")
myDoc.Application.Visible = True // this is true as I want to show
windows in taskbar
myDoc.Application.WindowState = vbMinimizedFocus // want to minimize window
myOldText = parentWinArg.All.returnmsg.Value
Set myWorkDoc = myDoc.Documents.Add
myWorkDoc.Content = myOldText
myWorkDoc.Activate
myWorkDoc.ActiveWindow.Caption = "eWISACWIS SpellCheck"
myWorkDoc.CheckSpelling

Not sure what group is good for VB, but you're sure better off to repost
this in a vba group (esp. since you haven't received an answer in here
so far).
