Command line, run a macro within an/any existing document?

[ralphky]

Suppose I want to run a Macro with an/any existing document

Like, a Macro to insert "Hello World" into a word document.

I have tried Winword.exe /MMymacro But that creates a new instance of word.

How do I run it within an existing instance, or existing word document - but calling it from the command line?

AFAIK you can not execute a Word macro on its own as it uses VBA (an instance), and there are no commandline instructions that can access an existing instance.

The macro is stored within word. I have the name of the macro I want to execute.

If you want to run a macro in another document from the existing Word instance, you have to open that document, then call its macro.
