Use the /n switch to start Word. For example, from the Run dialog box:
winword /n Alternatively, create a shortcut to the winword.exe file, and then add the switch to the end of the shortcut. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Erika" wrote: I know there is a way to open Word without it opening the blank new document, I just can't remember how. |

Yep, That's it exactly, thank you!!
I just added /n to the end of the target line after the quotes. Note: this only works with a shortcut. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Use the /n switch to start Word.

... Yep, That's it exactly, thank you!! You are welcome. I just added /n to the end of the target line after the quotes. Note: this only works with a shortcut. It should work from the Run dialog box as well (or via a command prompt). If you can't do it with winword /n you may have to specify the full path to the winword.exe file. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: Use the /n switch to start Word.

different switch? "Stefan Blom" wrote: "Erika" wrote in message ... Yep, That's it exactly, thank you!! You are welcome. I just added /n to the end of the target line after the quotes.

For Excel it's /e instead of /n. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291288.
