WORD2007 AUTOMATION IN perfect SILENT MODE

[staub.jean-noel]

I try to use WORD2007 server side for printout. I test my dll with VSc#
2005 and even if application.visible =false, a messagebox is open shortly
when i print a doc with the message:
please wait WORD is printing your doc... or something like this .
It's appear very fast and i use a french version of WORD 2007.
Of course when i test the same dll in ASP net the program hangs. how to
solve this issue?

Hi Staub.jean-noel,

In a nutshell, you can't. The Office applications were not designed to run
silently, or server-side. See
