Is there a vba approach to detect when word is busy or not busy?

I'm looking for a property called readyState [1], but I can only find it for
IE browser objects. I'm unsuccessful in locating something like this for
Word objects.

I answered this when you asked on 14 September. No, there isn't.

Perhaps describe why you need to detect it?

Say if you need to make sure Word isn't still busy opening the document,
ActiveDocument.Repaginate
would force a repagination, ensuring the doc is fully loaded.
