My goal is to be able to...

1) Check to see if Word 97 is open
2) If not, open it
3) Open a mail merge document
4) Perform the mail merge
5) Print the result
6) Quit Word (If it was not already open)

Where do I find all of the proper syntax to use?
Do I use GETOBJECT/CREATEOBJECT? With what parameters?
DDEInitiate?

I'm so confused...

Any help would be appreciated!
