Print Word doc. from command line
Look for a Word Help item called "Control what happens when you start
Microsoft Word" (or just "startup" will probably do).
Some of the command line entries used by Windows Explorer also have an
undocumented "/x" parameter which presumably affects the way Word starts in
some way.
