Printing a word doc using the PrintDocument class

Hi Guys,

I would like to print out a word document using a VB .NET
component. I have got VBA and VB.Net talking to each other
and can pass word objects between COM and .NET.

My reason for doing this is to enable myself to be able to
use the PrintSettings class and all of its advanced
features - Duplex on/off, Color on/off etc.

However, the PrintDocument class will not allow the
passing of a word document as a parameter to print. Is
there an easy way I can use the Graphics class to read the
word doc?

Failing this is there a way that I can intercept a
myDoc.PrintDocument method and set the printer settings
using the PrinterSettings class?

Thanks,

Andy
