I need do some work which do not want any instances of MS Word existed.
How to make sure no running instances of MS Word?

Look up the syntax of the GetObject command. Use that to test for a running
instance of Word.Application.

Use this variation of the syntax, which won't create a new instance of Word
if it's not already running:

Set oWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
