Delphi Word automation - print merged document

Question

My D5 application can currently mail merge multiple members data to a Word document using:

wrdapp := CreateOleObjct(word.application);
wrdDoc := wrdApp.Document.Open(TemplateLocation);
wrdMailMerge := wrdDoc.MailMerge;
populateMailMergeDateFile;
wrdMailMerge.execute;

and then

wrdDoc.Saved := False;
wrdDoc.Close(False);
wrdApp.Visible := True;

I would like to offer the option of passing the merged document straight to the printer. However I cannot find the code which allows this to happen

wrdDoc.PrintOut;
wrdDoc.Saved := False;
wrdDoc.Close(False);

Prints out the template document with no merged data.

wrdDoc.Saved := False;
wrdDoc.Close(False);
wrdDoc.PrintOut;

Displays a variant object error.

wrdMailMerge.PrintOut;

Displays an automation errors.

I've tried using True instead of False as well. Can anybody advise me as to how to print the merged document correctly?

many thanks

In my mailmerge code, I set MailMerge.Destination to wdSendToNewDocument before executing the merge, then afterwards I call WordApplication.ActiveDocument.Printout.
