Vinod, in the WrdBasic.hlp file, I found this information. It may solve your problem.

*******************
If Word is not running when another application needs to access it, OLE Automation attempts to start it. An error occurs if Word cannot be found. To register the location of Word, in File Manager (Windows 3.x or Windows NT) or Explorer (Windows 95), double-click WINWORD6.REG or WINWORD7.REG, located in your Word program folder.
