Why wouldn't you just click on the icon in the taskbar? There's no need to
use VBA to do this, so I don't understand why you would ask this in a VBA
newsgroup.

Or are you trying to write a WORD macro that will activate a minimized
Window? In that case, what is the event or action that you are going to use
in order to know when this should happen?

Since my question involves both Word and the Windows envionment, I cross
posted to a Word vba group, which you might have noticed if you had
looked at the To line.

To activate means to bring a minimized or inactive window to the fore,
so that it becomes the active window. This is different from opening a
window or a program, which means starting up a program that is closed.

What do you mean by "activate Word"?
Have you tried asking this on a Word or Office forum, since it
appears to be a Word question, not a Windows question?

I would be great to find a way to activate Word without starting a
new Word instance. I think I asked about this a year or two ago,
and didn't get anywhere. Any ideas?
