Macro to open non-Visio document on double-click

[Dave]

When I double-click an object in my flowchart I would like
to open up a Word document or an Excel Document, but I
can't see that there is an easy way to do this. Looking
under the Double-Click behavior of a shape I see that I
can assign a macro to run upon double-click, but I don't
know how to create a new one.

Can I create a macro or Visual Basic script in the
Standard version of Vision that I have which would perform
the "Open Document" task that I need done?

visio's integration with M$ office is a common desire. there are a
couple of good examples on how to do it in David Edson's book as
well as over in the MSDN area
