Run in the background? .... very important, pls help

Is there a possibility to let macros perform a task in one window while using word for example to write a text?

I'm using macros (key - macro) for a charting software to create a "push-list" for stock quotes (refreshing screen). On the other hand I'm working with the IE and other programs. I don't want the macro work in the IE but in my charting software, is this possible???

Generally, it is possible, but not always, and not so easy. Avoid keyboard and mouse commands. Instead, use menus, controls and/or accessible objects (use dialogs from "windows, controls, menus" menu in the floating toolbar). Even then some commands may not work in the background, or they may activate that window.
