System.Diagnostics.Process to retain windows focus

I use the following to open a Word document in my dll:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"c:\temp\docs\my doc.doc");

After this call the program will return to calling dll, ie main form.

The Word then starts up, then the main form appears.
This causes the main form appears on the Windows rather than the Word.

How do I make the Word appears on the main window?
