_WordCreate("",0,0,0) seems to attach to an open word doc

[Andy007]

Hi All,

I seem to have problem when I want to start a new instance of Word while another instance is already running.

I have used:

$wd = _WordCreate("",0,0,0)

But when I load a document into $wd and then print it, I see the older document disappear for a few seconds and then come back again.

Has anyone experienced this? Anyone have some ideas?

Happens on Vista and XP. Thanks in advance.
