I forget to mention best part of my problem here. When I use code supplied by you, I am able to work with other instances of word, while I use my code, I ma not able to do anything with any word until the process is finished.

I know that overall speed will be the same, but will save my time as no need of waiting till process to complete and Meanwhile I can work with other word doc. (even same word doc)

I may be wrong when it comes to literal meaning of asynch method, but what I want is to continue working with word while lengthy process of downloading loads of pdfs from web is underway using vba.
