Automatic RTF printing (no pre-view)
Casey Sackett
found that supports the full RTF tag set (in particular, I need support for
linked images). My problem is I can't get it to print a file without
opening (viewing) the file. Anyone know how to do this (via any means:
command line, DDE, OLE automation)?
Alternatively, anyone know of a program that supports the full RTF command
set and allows printing without opening (viewing) the file? I've tried
KeyView and Quick View Plus...
Thanks!

I do not know Word Viewer 97, so I cannot say anything about that. The
task you descripe is pretty easy using Word and OLE automation, though.
Here's some VB code
Dim wordapp As Word.Application
Set wordapp = New Word.Application
wordapp.Documents.Open(<document>.rtf).PrintOut (Background=True)
wordapp.Quit
The normal problem with printing with word is that it will flash the
word application window. As this code never calls wordapp.Visible =
true, this will not happen in this case, though. Good luck!
