How to print a Word document?

[shannanl]

I am using the following code to open a Word document. How do I automatically print that document?

Dim oWord
Dim WordDoc
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordDoc = oWord.documents.open(myPath)
oWord.Visible = True

Thanks in advance,

Shannan

Dim oWord
Dim WordDoc
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(myPath)
oWord.Visible = True
WordDoc.PrintOut False


Hope This Helps, PH.

Okay, here is a question.

I copy your code into a blank form, change "myPath" to an actual path and it prints fine.

I drop your code into my form and it only displays it. After the code group, I populate some bookmarks in the Word document. How could that cause it not to print? I know the path is good because it opens up the form.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Shannan

Huh?

Could you explain that???

What form?

What is the "it" that is displayed?? The code is displayed?? What?

Code group????

I am using vb.net. It is a .net form. If I use the bookmarks, the Word document only displays, not prints.

Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry, but that does not help. What does "use bookmarks" mean? What does "display" mean?

It may help if you actually stated what you are doing. Your post is about automatically printing a document. Now you seem to be performing action on the document.
