Controling Printer and Word 97

Is it possible to control Word 97 ( file open, print, etc...) and to set the default printer to a different one then it is right now with Visual C++ 5??

I'm using NT4 if that changes anything...

Thanks.

This is a bunch of tasks that can't be performed in a single step ;-)
Do you mean to 'fully' control Word (emulating user interaction etc.) or is it enough just to print a document (to a special printer)?

Yes, Emulating user interaction...I want the software to open word, print to a the Acrobat PDFWriter printer, change the printer back to what it was and close the software.

I want to do that with the whole office suite...is it possible. Even not in one step?
Emulating user interaction is hard. But maybe the OLE automation interface of the office applications might come inhady (though i never used it...)
