Is there any way to print an OOXML document (.docx file) without having MS Word installed?
It works nicely via the MS Word interface but I need to find a way to use it on servers where MS Word is not installed. I've been digging through the API and haven't found anything obvious so I'm inclined to believe there isn't a way. Is this the case?
EDIT: Devin's answer is basically what I understood to be the case. I should have mentioned that I'm using the .NET framework. So I wondered if there is perhaps a .NET library which would be able to be handle a docx file for printing? I see when adding a job to the DefaultPrinterQueue on a LocalPrintServer (in the System.Printing namespace) it can handle an XPS document. So perhaps this is the way to go.
I was curious about the answer myself, so I Googled it. Seems there is support in some Novel and IBM products. Here's a link to a partial answer which seems to say support in OpenOffice is in development. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
