SUMMARY
The AppActivate command activates the specified window in a program other than Microsoft Word. Use AppActivate to switch to another program that is already running or that you have started by using a shell. To activate a window within Microsoft Word, use the Activate command.

NOTE: If the other program is minimized, the AppActivate command does not maximize that program; it simply gives that program the focus and then returns the focus to Word.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about switching focus to another program from Word, in the Visual Basic Editor, click Microsoft Visual Basic Help on the Help menu, type appactivate statement in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
