Shellexecute to create a PDF from a Word .DOC

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right group but here goes.

I am looking to convert Word documents into PDFs, but I am looking for a
general mechanism. I have found "conversion" mechanisms on the web which
work via the "Printer" mechanism so if I install the s/w and call the
printer "MakePDF" all I need do is print to "MakePDF".

Now I know that the ShellExecute call allows me to set the lpoperation
parameter to "print".

I was wondering if it is possible to use the call to ShellExecute the file
to "print" to a specific printer.

Or am I looking at an awkward solution to a problem where there's a simpler
solution.

Kerry
