It works for me. Do note, though, that if your Word document contains a Document_Open macro, for example, and that requires any user interaction, its interface will only be seen once you switch windows to the Word application. For example:
Code:
Dim wdObj As Object, wdDoc As Object
Set wdObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wdObj.Visible = True
wdObj.Activate
Set wdDoc = wdObj.Documents.Open(Webtarget)
