    heello....

    I found a need for a quick open to 'Word', but code didnt work;; it
    is for a quick-custom-button.
    This worked for Notepad : : (after being in the custom button area)
    C^C^(startapp "notepad.exe")
    I did the same for Word: : C^C^(startapp "winword.exe") no joy.

    O/S is win98se.

    thumbs up..........

    You will need to specify the direct path to winword.exe

    This worked on my machine:

    (startapp "c:\\program files\\microsoft office\\office10\\winword.exe")

    You may have to change the path though.

    If you have a shortcut to Word on your desktop or in the Windows folder,
    open its Properties and insert a letter (W?) in the Shortcut Key field.
    Word will then open with Ctrl-Alt-W at any time in or out of any
    application.

    I tried that on mine (2007) and the command prompt gets stuck at (startapp
    c:
    Apparently, it's confused by the c:, looking for a command?
