While Microsoft Word is opening a large Web document in the background, users can continue to type and choose commands in another document. However, until the Web document is fully opened, Word Visual Basic for Applications functions are disabled for the document being opened.

This example switches between opening large Web documents in the background and not opening them in the background.
