Does anyone know if it is possible to open a Word document from Excel, and
if so, how?
I have figured out how you run Word (Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp
xlMicrosoftWord), but I have
no idea what to do from there.
Thank you!

Hi Will
Sub OpenWordDoc()
Dim ObjWord As Object
Set ObjWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
ObjWord.Documents.Open "C:\temp\test.doc"
ObjWord.Visible = True
End Sub
