Hi!
What type of code would I use to print a Word document by
clicking a
button or drawn object in an Excel worksheet? I do not want to
see the
document just open the Word application print the document
("Instructions") and close the Word application. The Word
document is
in the same file folder as the Excel workbook that is accessing
it.

Thanks for any and all help!!
