    Yes.

    You can use Word to record a macro and do your desired action and it will generate module code which you an almost use without any conversion in vb6.

    You can use the Word Object Model. Add a reference to MS Word xx.0 Object Library and start with code like so.

    VB Code:
    1. Option explicit
    2. 'add reference to ms word xx.0 object library
    3. private sub command1_click()
    4.     dim oApp as word.application
    5.     dim oDoc as word.document
    6.     set oapp = new word.application
    7.     set odoc = oapp.documents.open("C:\Test.doc")
    8.     'Do your writting stuff.
    9.     '...
    10.     'Do your printing.
    11.     oapp.documents("Test.doc").PrintOut
    12.     odoc.close
    13.     set odoc = nothing
    14.     oapp.quit
    15.     set oapp = nothing
    16. End sub
