Word automation HTML printing

[Gary Miller]

I read the MS article on Word Object and coded as implied.

I instantiate a Word app: Word.Applicatio n app = new Word.Applicatio n();

Then Open a HTML document: (I’ve tried all Opens, OLD, 2000..):

app.Documents.O pen(ref fileName, ref missingValue, ref myTrue,
ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue);

The third parameter is to make the process run in the background.

Then I set app.Visible = false; just to make sure the user does not see the
Word app.

I then do a print with the first parameter set to ‘background†™. (I’ve tried
all PrintOuts)

app.PrintOut(re f myTrue, ref myFalse, ref range,
ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref items, ref copies,
ref pages, ref pageType, ref myFalse, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref
missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref
missingValue, ref missingValue);

No matter what I do the Word application is visible to the user. And every
time I use it to print it spawns another Word. What could I be possibly doing
wrong, according to the MS article it’s very straight forward.

This is the only methodology that I’ve found to programmaticall y print HTML
documents. Any one have any suggestions?
