can I use a macro in Word2007 to open and access another program?

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

Yes. But exactly how, depends upon what that program is.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/OfficeInterdev.htm

and particularly

See the article "Control Excel from Word€� at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterD...XLFromWord.htm
or the article "Control Outlook from Word€� at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterD...OLFromWord.htm

Then there is also the Shell command in VBA.

Hope this helps.
