can I use a macro in Word2007 to open and access another program?
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on
Yes. But exactly how, depends upon what that program is.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/OfficeInterdev.htm

and particularly

See the article "Control Excel from Word” at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlXLFromWord.htm
or the article "Control Outlook from Word” at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlOLFromWord.htm

Then there is also the Shell command in VBA.
