Context menu - print does not works

When I try to print word document by right click on it and
then print id does not works. It open document but did not
print.

It is looks like problem with DDE message passed to
aplication.

Did anybody had problem like that.

Hi, Derek,

Look at the DDE definitions (in Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > File
Types > select .DOC > Advanced > select Print > Edit). Here's what they
should say:

DDE Message
[REM _DDE_Minimize][FileOpen("%1")][t=IsDocumentDirty()][FilePrint
0][SetDocumentDirty t][DocClose]

Application
WinWord

DDE Application Not Running
[FileOpen("%1")][FilePrint 0][FileExit 2]

Topic
System

I did it. After that I got error message in a message box "Ambiguous name
detected TmpDDE" - what it could be?
