HI
A little tip for when using Word in a non interactive session, in my case a webspeed broker.
I know Microsoft don't support it, blah blah, but sometimes its the only way and i have no choice until we can come up with an alternative document production solution.
My problem was that Word (Office 2010 32Bit) hung when trying to open a document - see attached sample program.
Anyway i tried all the usual things:
But the solution in this case was the creation of the following directory:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Hope this helps someone.

Really helpful Christian.
You may also want to look at the free DocxFactory project for creating all manner of office files: http://docxfactory.com/
why don't you take a look on DocxFactory.com.
It's a really great add-on for Progress (among other platforms) by fellow Alon Blitch, who also wanders somewhere here in the community..
I really think it is the alternative you are looking.
I use it for doing invoices (btw, win appserver 11.5 4mb ram celeron 2.2mhz, and it tooks only 0.2 to 0.5s to create my invoice in word format and another 0.1s to save it on pdf)
my $0,02.
Great christmas season!
