EXEVUTE is also possinle
Microsoft Style Guide recommends using START in the end-user documentation
Avoid using execute to refer to carrying out a command or running a program, especially in end-user documentation. Use run to refer to programs, queries, and macros and carry out to refer to actions and commands. In technical documentation, it's acceptable to use execute to refer to programming processes, especially if required by the interface, but if possible use run or write around the use.
