What is a 'virtual Word printer'? I'm at a loss to understand Q.2. Don't you
have a printer and if not, how can you print to something that isn't there?
Or do you mean Print to File?

Usually, to open Word to 'nothing', it is necessary to edit the Startup

that you are using to launch Word has been edited that way.

Thansks so much.
You were correct.
I removed the /n and Word opens with a new blank page.

Any ideas on question # 2 in the OP?
