When my VB6 app opens, the Form.Load code opens a document, reads the
info into six arrays, and then uses these arrays to populate six
combobox controls. The info in question are "attributes" assigned to
a folder of Word documents; through the combos, I select an attribute
and the VB app opens that document.

Are you saying that you're storing application-specific data in a Word
document? That's like buying a mansion to store your lawnmower instead of
putting a shed in your back yard.

Although there would be a learning curve involved, I recommend you store
your data in an XML file.
