Hi Prasanta,

office internal error message box fired then that word instance stop
working after that warning. So please tell me how to avoid this types
of error or warnings or message box in hidden mode.

There's no way to turn these off completely. Depending on the type of
message, Application.DisplayAlerts can help some.

other than that, there's a KB article that describes how you can use a
"Timer" function in combination with SendKeys to dismiss any dialog
boxes. But there's no way to determine which one is holding things up
(IOW, the result could be unpredictable.)
