Hi,

from within my foxpro program i open a word doc, i put my data in it, and
then i want to print it, but without the print dialog. Because the word app
stays invisible all the time. I don't want the user to have to choose the
printer etc... because there are about 300 documents that need to be
printed, so they won't be happy if they have to click that OK button 300
times

allso, how can i make that every doc is printed more than one time?

Regards & thx in advance,

Thomas

Hi Thomas:

You did not indicate the version of Word you are using. However, I think
this article get you started. Look at the FilePrint method of the Word
object. This method has a NumCopies parameter. The PrintOut method has a
Copies parameter. For more information on these methods, see this article:

176069 HOWTO: Print a Range of Pages in Word Using OLE Automation
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=176069

I am not sure how to suppress the Print dialog, but I think you can do this
using the Word object model. For more information on the object model of
all Office products, see this article:
