I'm not shure why you want to do this using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (I think E.F. Nijboers solution should work). But if this doesn't work for you (user interaction in between, ...) just use the
SetForegroundwindow function(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633539(v=vs.85).aspx[^])
through Interop

Try this on your reference to Word.Application:

VB

objWord.Activate()
objWord.Visible = true
objWord.WindowState = 1

Good luck!
