Hi NG
I send the following question to the PowerPoint newsgroup, but I haven got
any answers. Maybe somone here is able to help:
"Can anyone give me a hint on how to automate the "Send to Word" process?
I have to make handouts with the dias on top, and lines beneath. I can do it
by selecting Files - Send - To Word and then selecting the right format.
But I would like automate the process, so all the user should do is
clicking a button - and then the printer starts to print.
Recording a macro doesn't record anything, and I can't find anything in VBA
Help about how to achieve this. I can define Word as an object, open an
instance - but what should I transfer from PP?"
Regards
Jan

Hi Jan
To print a document in Word, you need to use the PrintOut method in Word.
To control Word from PowerPoint, take a look at this article
Control Word from Excel
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/ControlWordFromXL.htm
Don't worry about the article title, the principles are exactly the same for
controlling Word from any other application that uses VBA.
