Trouble launching MS Word from a service

I am running our software as a service on Windows. The software uses the
'WordController Plus' ActiveX component from Rainier Software Solutions to
comunicate with MS Word. MS Word is started via the ActiveX component.
Everything works just fine if I run our software in a DOS window. However,
if I start our software using a Windows Service MS Word does indeed start (I
can see it in the Processes tab in the Task Manager) but it is not visible to
the user (or in the Applications tab in the Task Manager). Any thoughts

Ask Rainier Software Solutions what the problem might be.
