Use the Show(Object) method to show the specified built-in Word dialog box, then (if the user clicks the OK button) carry out the actions specified by the user in the dialog box. The Display method, on the other hand, displays the specified built-in Word dialog box, but takes no action after the user closes the dialog box. Therefore, you should choose the method to use as follows:

Use the Display method if the actions the user will take in the dialog box are completed before the user closes the dialog box - for example, when the user customizes a menu or toolbar by using the Customize dialog (wdDialogToolsCustomize). You can also use the Display method if you want to ignore the actions requested by the user, if those actions are normally completed after the user closes the dialog box.

Use the Show method if the actions the user will take in the dialog box are normally completed after the user closes the dialog box - for example, when the user selects a file to open by using the Open dialog (wdDialogFileOpen).
