I have a hyperlink to a word document, but I really don't want to open up word, as much as I just want that link to bring up a window with the TEXT found in the word document. In essence, I want a pop-up window, so you can still see excel in the background.

I tried placing the following code in the word document, but it just opened it normally without the size changes:

Code: 
Private Sub Document_Open()
     
    With Application
        .Width = 150
        .Height = 500
    End With
     
End Sub

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Try adding

Code: 
Private Sub Document_Open()
 
    Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
 
    With Application
        .Width = 150
        .Height = 500
    End With
 
End Sub

I actually originally had that, and nothing happened. It just opened the full word document even with that added line.

Any other ideas?

Seems to work in Excel97/Word97

How about


Code: 
Private Sub Document_Open() 
With Application
    .WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
    .Resize Width:=InchesToPoints(4.2), Height:=InchesToPoints(4.2)
End With
 
End Sub
