Batch Printing

[Guest]

Is it possible to batch print Word documents from a .Net application, without having to programmatically open each document in Word prior to printing it?

No. From an application you have to open each file.

You can get Windows Explorer to do it for you if they're all in the same
folder -- just select them all, right-click, select Print.

Yes, that works fine. Word is a well-behaved object from a programming point
of view.

Thanks for your quick response.

If processing doc's through Word is the only way to programmatically print

them, can you tell me if Word works well in an enviornment where it resides
on a server, is totally controlled by an application, and is basically used
as a batch print engine (open doc -> print -> close doc -> open doc -> print
....).
