Starting Word 2002 - Safe Mode (/safe or /a) with Automation

[Curtis Weeks]

We have an application that uses Word 2002 via automation.
Occasionally word crashes or encounters other problems.

To troubleshoot some problems I desperately need a way to
start Word
in either Safe Mode (/safe) or with the /a to skip the
loading of user
settings.

Does anyone know a way to start Word in this manner when
Word is
started through automation instead of directly at the
command line.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Curtis,

If you don't get any responses here you might check with one of the
Word VBA groups. That's where the gurus on these types of questions
tend to hang out.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
