Hi

The body of the letters are the same. In the Word 97 version I used a different font for the Company name in the header.

I am printing the same letter with a different name and address on each. It is a form letter.

One possible difference is that in VFP I can print all 1000 letters as one print job. In the Word 97 version they are listed as 1000 print jobs. This is probably where the problem lies. I can see this difference if I look at the print jobs listed in the control panel under the appropriate printer.

>>I am using VBA from VFP6 to print some form letters using Word97. I have to print 1000 letters. The process goes fairly quickly and my program & Word finish within several minutes. However, printing takes several hours. When I print from VFP without Word 97 the printing speed on the HP network laser is about 16pages/minutes. When the documents have been printed and spooled from Word 97 the print speed is only 3pages/minute. Why are the print jobs so much slower when spooled by Word than from VFP?
