How to print word document from command line without opening the document. Like in case of pdf file this command will work . AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\test.pdf" . It prints the pdf file without opening to default printer, but same logic don't work in case of word docs. anybody have an idea.
I Don't want any third party s/w for this.

See *www.robvanderwoude.com/commandlineswitches.php for details... Seems not possible directly in Word... But in Powerpoint and OpenOffice, you can do it... Strange...
