Thanks Dave and JR for you quick replies. I was worried that the
discussion group had been completely taken over by conspiracy theory
cross-posters. I am pleased to see there are some dedicated
Applescripters in the wings.

I've got it working now! I can't make any sensible excuse for my
confusion. I'm so happy it's working now. Here's what it looks like:

tell application "Finder"
	activate
	open do***ent file "Macintosh
HD:Users:rozalindabuyong:Do***ents:FileMakerPrinting:Sample.doc"
end tell

tell application "Microsoft Word"
	activate
	print "Macintosh
HD:Users:rozalindabuyong:Do***ents:FileMakerPrinting:Sample.doc"
	close do***ent "Macintosh
HD:Users:rozalindabuyong:Do***ents:FileMakerPrinting:Sample.doc"
end tell

I still have to invoke Finder at the beginning as this seems to be the
only way to prevent the MS Word startup dialogue box from appearing.

Thanks guys
