Steps to recreate:

1) Open Word
2) Open VBA Editor
3) Create a new UserForm
4) Put the control on the user form
5) Select file -> new and choose word document

No document is created or displayed. Same with opening an existing word doc on local file system. This same procedure works when creating a VBA userform in MS EXcel. The control successfully displays the new or existing doc. and the related word toolbars etc.

Any ideas?
