Is this the proper syntax to print a word 2007 document to a file instead of
a printer

ActiveDocument.PrintOut OutputFileName:="c:\zzz.docx", PrintToFile:=1

thank you

Try this:

Dim strFileName As String

strFileName = ActiveDocument.FullName

strFileName = Left(strFileName, Len(strFileName) - 4) & ".prn"

Application.PrintOut PrintToFile:=True, _
OutputFileName:=strFileName



Don't forget to turn on the printer, even tough you are printing to file...
(Printing to file produces a document to be printed later on a specific
printer.)
Depending on what you are doping, you will probably need more code to turn
off "Print to File" aw this setting is stocky.
