ole2 and oracle forms

Hi

I'm trying to convert a word doc into a postscript format. I open the word doc
Print Preview it
and then PrintOut using Print to File = true

My code only works when I open the word doc. first and then call the PrintPreview method before PrintOut. If I remove the PrintPerview method call, my postscript file is not generated. If I dont open the doc, it doesnt work. Why is that so - is my code incorrect? Is there another way to convert to postscript without displaying the word app. to the user?

Also, how can I tell if there is already an instance of word opened already?

Thanks
