Is there a trick in creating a document based on a template that won't become visible by default.
I am issuing
oWord = create("Word.Application")
odoc = oWord.Documents.Add("<>)

The first thing it does is load a session of word visibly with the "Document 1" doc I just spawned. Is there anyway to disable this default behaviour?
I could copy the file, then do all the OLE updating I want, without the user seeing anything, but I'd rather work off a template so that certain macros and tool bars are available without putting them in the normal.dot. Get all that... Probably more of a question for MS, but I doubt they know...
It probably has something to do with the fact that the newly spawned, (don't know why I'm using that word, haven't been fishing lately),
document isn't really a file yet, only in memory, therefore Word has to handle it visibly.

Thanks in advance...
