I think you are missing a space before the file name, so what you have is winword.exeC:\shashi\test.doc so try
Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe" & " C:\shashi\test.doc"

There's only a couple of reasons this would have failed. The first is if the file path doesn't exist. The second is if there is a problem with the extension association (.doc) with an application. But, in this case, you would not have gotten the error you did.

It didn't work because you tried to execute something called
Program, with the command line parameters ofFiles\MicrosoftandOffice\OFFICE11\winword.exeandC:\shashi\test.doc. Spaces, anywhere in the command line, are treated as delimiters. You need to wrap full path specifications in double quotes so they are treated as a single component of the command line. Your code should be closer to:Shell """C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\winword.exe"" & \_ " " & """C:\\shashi\\test.doc"""A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]
