New Need more info.
I've downloaded the word2xxx.pl OLE automation example, which does launch Word and control it a bit.
Where do I find a list of things I can do so I know how to call the proper functions?

New I'm the wrong person to ask about that
You can find some (all?) of it in Word's documentation if you've installed the Visual Basic reference guide.

I remember wandering through some guide on MSDN looking for likely functions. I think I found it by asking a VB programmer where to look. This was 5 years ago, I wouldn't have any hope of finding it again now.

Perhaps some VB people know the answer?

Cheers,
Ben

New OK, done this piece
They had a sample DLL that writes to a specific dir.
I can pickup the new file from there since I can serialize the workflow.
So I execute word with a macro argument to print to the driver and then exit.
