I want to use Access 2000 to open Word, then to open(as copy) a specific
Word 2000 document TheWordDocument.doc), find a bookmark in that document
and then work in Word.

I am able to open Word but then I can't get it to retrieve the named
document or do anything else.

My objective is to have Access open Word, retrieve a boilerplate document,
do a lot of stuff to that document, and then leave the modified document on
the screen for further work.

How is this done?

Control Word from Excel

Don't worry about the title being "from Excel" - the technique is pretty
much identical from Access or any other VBA application.
