Getting hold of Currently Open Word Doc -

I am writing an application in which i need to get hold of the currently Active Word document.

At no point will a word document be opened by the program, always! by the user directly, by opening microsoft word themselves.

I have tried to do this using CreateObject() but when i try and return the currently active document it says that thier isn't one, even though i have opened word seperately, and have a doc open.

I assume that this is because using CreateObject() i have opened a seperate instance of word, but i don't now how to get a handle on the current already open instance of word.

Also a way of determining if Word is currently open, would be Equally usefull

Any tips would be Great ?????
