SUMMARY
In Microsoft Windows, you can use a command at the MS-DOS prompt or in the Run dialog box to print a publication without viewing it in Microsoft Publisher.



MORE INFORMATION
To print a publication from a command line, follow these steps:

 On the Windows Start button, click Run.  Type the following command, and then press ENTER, substituting the appropriate values for (the location of Mspub.exe), (the location of the file you want to print), and (the name of the file you want to print):

 \mspub.exe /p \ .pub Be sure to put long filenames in quotation marks. Here are three sample command lines: c:\mspub\mspub.exe /p c:\document\report.pub

"c:\program files\microsoft office\mspub.exe" /p c:\test.pub

c:\mspub\mspub.exe /p "c:\my documents\july newsletter.pub" 

NOTE: If you type the name of a publication that does not exist, Publisher displays the Open dialog box. If you click Cancel, Publisher prints a blank page to your printer.
