[AccessD] Bring Word Spell Grammar Check dialog to the front

Folks,

I have a client who reports their client contacts to the State.  In the
contact record they have a note field that the person talking to the client
makes notes in.  A report is generated at the end of the month listing
contacts.  An issue came up about personnel making spelling and grammar
errors in the notes so, at the clients request, I added a spelling and
grammar checker by automating those functions from Word.  Access can do
spell checking but not grammar so the need for getting those functions from
Word.  The application is in 2007 and on my development machine Access 2007
on Windows XP it works great.  The clients machines are Office 2007 on
Vista. When we run the app on the clients machines the dialog opens in the
background and freezes the app until Word Spell/Grammar checker is canceled
in the Task Manager.  

My question is: is there a way to bring the Word dialog box window to the
front or cause it to open on top of the Access application?

Thanks in advance.

Doug
