This free macro will open the Microsoft Word program on your computer. You do need to have this program first. This will not open a specific file or Word Document but only the program itself. It can be attached to a button or checkbox or form and set to run when that item is clicked or this code can be input into an existing macro in excel.
Note:You must already have Microsoft Word on your computer for this macro to work.
Sub Open_Word()
'Opens Microsoft Word from Excel
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
End Sub
