How would I start Microsoft Word (actually, a particular template file) using
Win32Lib?

shellExecute( "open", "template file name", SW_SHOWNORMAL )
There's also a way to use DDE if this doesn't suit your needs.

Another option would be to use COM. You could take a look at the Excel
demo that comes with EuCOM to get an idea of how to do this.

I don't want it to hang my Euphoria program. That is, I want Word started and
run independent of the Euphoria program.

Hi CK,
Try please:
integer i
i=1
system("START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL WINWORD.EXE", 2)
system("START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL NOTEPAD.EXE", 2)
-- works with exw.exe for me without hanging
system("CMD /C \"START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL WINWORD.EXE\"", 2)
-- works with ex.exe and with exw.exe for me without hanging too
position(2,1)
? i
while get_key()=-1 do
end while
Try also in Windows console:
start /?
then
cmd /?
