You can suppress that. A quick Google should point out a couple of solutions. Perhaps adding the /q command line? See: http://lifehacker.com/5877847/start-microsoft-office-programs-without-the-splash-screen You can also avoid showing a blank Word doc and then the actual file with the /t commandline switch, apparently: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/command-line-switches-for-microsoft-office-word-2007-HP010164010.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210565 As for not showing the document, I'm not sure. Automation may be the solution, I guess. But returning to the original question, if you're only printing static documents, it's overkill to load an entire word processor, too. You're not "processing words," editing and manipulating, you just want to print. Would it be feasible to use "output documents" like PDF or Microsoft's X?? whatever they are documents, rather than "editable documents?" --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uudtc9cqzvter2ch7me6ysnfg3etkew63oezytgbq...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
