Making Word windows invisible or small

  • Thread-topic: Making Word windows invisible or small

I'm writing a script that opens a text file or Word doc in Word and reformats the text. It is slower than I'd like, and I was wondering if I could make the windows of the opened document small or invisible, which hopefully would speed up the process.

I tried:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
open "document"
tell front window of front document
set invisible to true
end tell
end tell

It compiled ok, but when run it returned a message that it couldn't set invisible to true for the window.

Any help available?

TIA

Frank
