I don't know if this is the "correct" way to do it, but I'm working with the same issues right now. I am doing the following:

oWord = CREATEOBJ( "Word.Basic" )

** You now have access to word basic
** Issue commands to load file and such

oWord.FileOpen( "filename.doc" )
oWord.AppShow() && Word now shows up and user can interact

**
** Not sure how yet, but need to wait until user has completed edit
** Probably should find a way to remove FileQuit from the menu as well
**

oWord.AppHide() && Word is now gone from the task bar and screen

** other automation type stuff
**
oWord.Close(1) && 1 = save, 2 = don't save

oWord.AppClose
========================
I'm not yet sure what to do to wait until the user has completed interaction, but this should work. There is probably a more correct way, and if anyone else has any input on this I'd appreciate it...

Thanks and good luck John
