I have an app that that uses OLE to create a session, load a document, merge some fields, save the document.

In WORD 2013 it never pops open a WORD screen.
In WORD 2016 it opens up WORD screen but still automates everything until finished.

Havent verified just yet but according to my support teams we supposedly have clients with WORD 2016 and the app that actually works.
The app is in a windows task.

On my system WORD 2016 opens up but is in a 'Suspended' status, then it goes away without ever creating my document.
Are there some WORD 2016 settings that i could look at/change to keep the window from opening up?
