In addition to what John said, you can also use the '0' parameter with Printout() to turn off background printing. This is sometimes helpful to be able to exit Word when done printing, without killing the print job. For example:

loWord.ActiveDocument.Printout(0) && Turn off bg printing; Word will not return until done.
loWord.Documents.Close(0) && Close document with no prompts.
loWord.Application.Quit(0) && Quit Word with no prompts.

>This did it but its real odd. Now before this I just switched it by saving it and then reopening by creating an object using word.basic. This allowed me to open it with all toolbars showing. The only problem it was slower because I needed to drop my connection and recreate it. After that I also gave the user an option to print it and then quit word without them viewing it on the screen. If they choose to view it on the screen I used app.show with word.basic istead of visible. How I can I my document print and quit using word.application? Using word.basic I could do word.FilePrint and word.FileQuit?
