  The dialog box has an OK button that the user would click once they're done reading/editing the text. The dialog box is displayed as a modal dialog, so users cannot perform any actions on the document until they close it.

  You can display the dialog for a certain amount of time, say 5 seconds, and have it close automatically by passing in a timeout value:

  Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show (5000)

  Another random question. Is there a way to programmatically close the Summary Info box once it is open

  I don't know of a way to programmatically display the Properties window of a Word document. However, depending on your reasons for wanting to display this, you might want to take a look at displaying the Summary Info dialog box. If you run the following code, it will display a Summary Info dialog box which enables users to update information about the document such as Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, and Comments.

  Application.Dialogs(Word.WdWordDialog.wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show()
