Converting a Word document into a .tif file

[celeron895]

I am building an application where I need to convert Word and Excel documents into .tif files for indexing. I have tried one product (from Informatik) but it must be called from a command line. I also tried a component from Neevia, but it is very buggy and keeps crashing. Any suggestion for how this can be done?

Informatik also offers a TIFF print driver.
A trial version is available on their website.
(There are other companies with similar products.)
Once the driver is installed, you can configure
a printer to use it, then programmatically print
your documents to that printer using Word or
Excel COM objects.
