Can somebody help me print a word document from SQLWindows?

[Don Wendler]

Thomas,
This works great but not quite what I need. I need to print on a form
that requires no header, page number, and form feeds. I just need
to print or copy an ASCII file to the default printer.

The 'print' command as used in the ShellExecuteA command seems
to use a printer routine like notepad does. It places the file name
at the top of the page, and a page number at the bottom. How do I
disable these items and no form feeds?

I also tried the copy command to copy the file to a printer with no
luck.

Don,

a workaround might be printing it with SalFile*() functions. However, I have
not yet done it, so I cannot comment on it.
