Remarks

This method enables you to print an RTF document form an RTF file using just a single line of code (calling this method). There is no need to set or use any of the Smart Print Control properties.

The following code line shows how to use this method to print an RTF document from an RTF file, using the default values for all arguments:

   SPrinter1.PrintRTFFile "C:\MyRTFFile.RTF"

Note that by using this method, all control properties are ignored, whether (or not) set before calling this method. However, you can choose the printer to send the document to, by using the SetPrinter method before calling this method.

An alternative method to print an RTF file is by specifying the FileName property and then calling the PrintDoc method. In this case, the file must have a ".rtf" extension.
