There may be some confusion here. George gave you the code to print an existing document from Word using VFP. He did not give you code to print a report in VFP to Word document format and then have Word print that.

Which did you want?

VFP reports will print BMP images so I'm unclear why you want Word to do it.

>Two ways. One would be to use OLE Automation. The other would be to use the ShellExecute() API call. I'd prefer the latter since the possibility exists that Word isn't present on the target machine. I believe that the FFC has an example of the code necessary to open a file using ShellExecute(). Here's a sample, however, of how to do it.
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN Shell32;
> INTEGER hwnd, STRING @lpOperation, STRING @lpFile,;
> STRING @lpParameters, STRING @lpDirectory, SHORT nshow
>* lcfile is the document filename
>lcdir = JUSTPATH(lcfile)
>lcop = 'print'
>lnresult = ShellExecute(0, @lcop, @lcfile, "", @lcdir, 0)
>IF lnresult < 32
> * Error
>ENDIF
