I know there is a way to open Word without it opening the blank new document, I just can't remember how. > I know there is a way to open Word without it opening the blank new > document, I just can't remember how. In a desktop shortcut, add /n to the command line in the Target box. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210565.

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.

I just added /n to the end of the target line after the quotes. Note: this only works with a shortcut. > Use the /n switch to start Word.

If you can't do it with winword /n you may have to specify the full path to the winword.exe file. SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP >> Use the /n switch to start Word.
