John,

I'm sure there are tons of different ways of doing things in Word97 as there are in VFP, but this works well for me to save the doc if it's an existing file:

this.moWord.Activate() && so Save dialog appears
this.moContractDocument.Close( wdPromptToSaveChanges, wdWordDocument, .t. )

And if it's a new file:
with this.moContractDocument
.SaveAs( this.mcContractDocumentName, , , , .t. )
.Close()
endwith

And to Print all I do is this:

this.moWorkOrderDocument.PrintOut()


>**** Currently you have to use wordbasic to do the printing.
>**** vba's print method isn't supported in versions prior to VFP 6.
>**** However, vba print preview is . . .
>*Oword.activedocument.PrintPreview
>oWord.WordBasic.FilePrint(.t.,,,,,,,1)

>**** Currently you have to use wordbasic to save the file.
