MODI Writer always opens TIFF file after writing

[Chris A. Palmer]

I am trying to silently print a word document using the Microsoft Office
Image Writer to a TIFF file. I can do this just fine so far, except that
every time i print with this driver it opens the TIFF file upon completion.
Is this normal? And if so, is there any way to stop it from happing? I've
tried it on several computers in my office and all produce the same result
(though with various image viewers/editors depending on the computer).

try changing the following registry value (adjusting the Office version
number as required) to 0

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\MODI\MDI writer\OpenInMODI

I could have sworn there used to be a checkbox for this in the driver
preferences dialog box, but maybe not.

Now remembered where the option is in the UI - when the dialog box for the
file name comes up, there's a check box at the bottom.
