Re: Word document preview in Windows Forms PrintPreview Control

But in the end aren't you going to have to launch Word anyhow?

Can't you keep and instance of Word running?

Subject: Word document preview in Windows Forms PrintPreview Control

Hi All,

I am struggling with some issues. In order to give the users the
possiblity
to edit layouts of their documents within their own comfortzone i
decided to
make use of Microsoft word. It works like a charm but My problem:

The users wants a quick-preview of the document when or before
merging/editing the document. So i thought i make a form with a
printpreview
component on it, kick of the word document and go. But this does not
work,
the preview component cannot handle word documents and i would rather
not
start up an instance of word (to costy and heavy in loading time

Any suggestions, ideas how to give the users a fast preview?

Thanks!!

Marcel
