Check if a word application is open

Hello can anyone help me with the following

I open MS Word from VB6 and Excell using code but I do not want to open 2 MS Word applications at the same time so I want to check if MS Word is already running and just add a document in place of opening a new MS Word application.

I tried somethings but I am on the wrong track can anyone help me to get me on my way.

Well when you open ms word or excel you create a new object..

Check if that object is still open.

However simple thing is just to close off the old one before the new one is opened.
