Word VBA macro - insert a file command, then pause 1

[SNicholls]

In a Word 2003 macro, I want to create a macro to perform as follows:
open the Insert File dialog box
change to a specific drive/subdirectory
then stop so the user can browse to the appropriate file (which varies)
either end there or pause until the user finds the correct file and then resume with the Insert command (which closes the dialog box)
I can code to open the Open dialog box but not the Insert dialog box

When I used to create WordPerfect macros, there was a Pause command that would pause the macro until ENTER; anything like that in VBA?

Thanks.

I can code to open the Open dialog box but not the Insert dialog box
When you have the pathname choosen from the Open dialog box, play with the InsertFile method of the Range or Selection object.

Hope This Help, PH.
