# OPENWaitOnOpen

If this property is set to `TRUE`, the `Open` method does not return until the entire document is open. This ensures that the document is fully processed before an operation (such as printing, converting, or searching) is performed, and is useful when you want to use an operation immediately after opening the document. Use the various "Can" properties, such as `CanPrint`, `CanSaveAs`, and `CanFind`, to determine whether the document has been completely processed and is ready for the operation.

If you are opening the document for viewing only, set this property to `FALSE` so that the first page of the document can be viewed as soon as it is processed.
