The office Startup Application is a small companion program with the following command line switches. It also provides services for starting Office Help and in 2000 performs a test to see if Auto Repair should run.

Word 97

<Path to Office>\osa.exe [/b] [/f] [/n]

Word 2000

<Path to Office>\osa9.exe [/b] [/f] [/l] [/n]

Switch Meaning
/b Initilises OLE and some fonts so OLE programs will start faster. It's tuned for office programs and basically puts the OLE libraries into the disk cache.
/f Displays the Open Office Document dialog box.
/l Checks to see if the Office Toolbar should be loaded at startup, and if so start the Office Toolbar.
/n Displays the New Office Document dialog box.
