    Excel cell displays formula instead of result

    Using Word's PrintOut method to print to a file

    Has anyone had success with this? If so, what is the syntax? Also, what type of file does Word want to print to, and can this "print file" be read back as a "doc"? I am particularly interested in the "append" argument of Printout. I have been searching for months...
