Default Lauching Word from within Access

I am writing an Access application for my own use and I want it to launch a particular Word file from within a piece of code.

Is there a way to do this without knowing the exact path of WinWord.exe ?

If not, then does anybody know how to query the registry (from within code) to get the exact path?

Cheers,
Mark
