Printing before saving -- document called "Document1"

J

Jim

Here's the situation:
We have a custom print driver that will take a Word Document (created
from a custom template) and print it and simultaneously store it in a
proprietary repository. This means that there is no need for the user
to save it before printing (in fact it is highly discouraged due to the
sensitive nature of the information on the document). However, without
the save, the print driver only gets the filename "Document1".

What we would like to do is expand the capability of the print driver
to be a little smarter, based on the type of document being 'printed'
(i.e. the name). But we cannot come up with a way to have Word pass
the 'Title' (or anything else) without first saving the document.
Unfortunately, having the users save it first is not a good option if
there is any way programmatically (any way at all) to avoid it.

Is this something that just cannot be done in Word?
