I have a form with an OLE container that containes and embeded word document. Does anyone know a way to print this word document from a button on the VB form - and not have to open up the word document and to print it.

I also want another button that will save the word document to the hard drive, again without having to open up the document.

I have had the same issue with an excel document and the OLE Control. What you are asking is possible. Basically it involves setting the OLE control's 'Enabled' property to false and work behind the scenes with Word's object model(Word/VBA) from within VB. What this means is that every machine that your program will be on must have Word on it.

I solved my problem because I was familiar with Excel/VBA. I am not familiar with Word/VBA but I will try the solution I have already created and experiment with Word/VBA.

I will have to get back to you on that.
