Do you mean you want to bring the Word to Foreground? Then this technique (by Vladimir Maximov) works:

#DEFINE wdWindowStateMinimize 2  
  #DEFINE wdWindowStateMaximize 1  
    
  loWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize && When you set WindowState property of the Word object, it brings it to foreground

But please see Tamar's response to me. Even if you open Word document in read-only mode you still can Save As a different document.
