Starting without any Powerpoint or Word tasks running: after I do:
p1 = WIN32OLE.new “Powerpoint.Application”
p2 = WIN32OLE.new “Powerpoint.Application”
w1 = WIN32OLE.new “Word.Application”
w2 = WIN32OLE.new “Word.Application”
In Windows Task Manager I now see:
1 Powerpoint task
2 Word tasks
Why the difference?
Also, what is the best way to script non-COM applications on windows
e.g. by
scripting their UI events?
Thanks!

PowerPoint allows only a single instance to be running at any one time.
Word allows multiple instances. Simple as that.

AutoIt (AutoIt Scripting Language - AutoIt) is pretty good for that
kind of thing (and it’s free

Hi!
To see, in word (options), “fenêtres dans la barre des tâches” (in french) ;
in english, it is, perhaps, “windows in taskbar”
