Toggle screen saver from Word macro?

E

Ed

I think my screen saver coming on in the middle of a long-running macro is
screwing things up. Is there any way I can reach into my Windows system
(XP, with Word XP/2002) to toggle the screen saver off at the beginning of
my code, and then turn it back on (or reset the timer, vice activating it)?

Highly unlikely. Are you editting? Do an ActiveDocument.UndoClear
regularly. Are you opening / closing documents? Use a DoEvents after
doing so. And so on. See www.mvps.org/Word/FAQs/index.htm for more
joy.
