I am using an existing Word document and calling it into a
textmerge function using a General field and regular TEXTMERGE
routines, but how do I go by open only ONE instance of Word
without to open/close the application??

or if there is a way thru coding, when I do not have to have the Word
application program open, and still use the OLE word basic commands, (print, etc)
