adding gui application to word

[nta]

Suppose i have a gui application (currently written in python) which enables
the user to create word tables, is there any way to insert this application
as some sort of a macro (meaning: adding a button to word clicking on which
will show the wizard)
Thanks

Is your application compiled to an .exe or other executable file? If
so, look in the VBA help for the topic on the Shell command.

As an example, if you wanted a button in Word to run the Notepad
program, you could write a macro like this:

Sub RunNotepad()
Shell "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Then assign a toolbar button to that macro
