Automating Microsoft Document Writer

[Paul Kotlarz]

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now and to no
avail so I'm asking for some help. Does anyone know how to get Microsofts
Document Image Writer to print automatically without putting up the "Save as"
dialog box?
My situation is this: I have an application that prints a batch of reports,
and for each page the application sends an individual print command. So if I
want these documents saved in tiff files I need to hit print a few thousand
times to accept every individual save as box. I don't need to change the
file name, as it defaults to a new file every time. Is there a way to have
the office document automatically save to the default file with out
prompting? I currently am using the vba sendkeys but it's not as clean as I
would like it to be and I would like to find a setting/regkey that I can set
that will allow the doc writer to automatically accept the file name.

Thanks in advance to anyone offering help.
Paul

As I noted in my previous reply there is no such option. There is no Object
Model for the Document Image Writer's. (Not one that's available, anyway.)
Also as noted you might want to post in one of the Word VBA groups in order
to obtain a wider audience.
