If you mean from VB, there are two methods --

1) Late binding

Dim wrdApp as object
On error resume next
Set wrdApp = GetObject("Word.Application")
If wrdApp is nothing then
.... Word was not running .... no instance to get


or 2) Early binding

Dim wrdApp as Word.Application
On error resume next
Set wrdApp = Word.Application
If wrdApp is nothing then
.... Word was not running .... no instance to get

I would be great to find a way to activate Word without starting a new
Word instance. I think I asked about this a year or two ago, and didn't
get anywhere. Any ideas?
