Off the top of my head the only way I can think of would be to have a
frameset or iframe and when they clicked the button or link to set the src
of the frame to the word documeent and then call the print method on that
frame.
so your onclick handler would be (with printFrame as the name of the frame):
top.frames["printFrame"].src = "myWord.doc";
top.frames["printFrame"].print();
Haen't tried this though.
