Toolbars not showing when automating Word
Article contributed by Ibby
There is a specific situation, when automating Word, when the Word application displays without the toolbars. This occurs if, in your code, you maximize the Word application before making it visible ie:
Dim oWord
As Word.Application
Set oWord = New
Word.Application
oWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
oWord.Visible = True
Set oWord = Nothing
To get around this, make Word visible before you maximize it, ie:
Dim oWord
As Word.Application
Set oWord = New
Word.Application
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
Set oWord = Nothing
