Gary,
Another one is to fire long print job on word but return to VFP and continue to work. A watcher checks if word is done yet. If yes it fires oWord.Quit. Just an alternative for lengthy prints like mailmerge.
As far as I remember sample is in WordMail class in download section. MDAC update (or down?) spoiled the class but still gives the idea.
