Having oWordDoc.Printout Copies:=3 will save a little bit of typing.

The next step is to integrate the script into the shell, so when you
right-click a Word doc, you get an extra option, like "Print triplicate".
The filename gets passed to the .vbs script.

To print multiple files, you select (highlight) them all, right-click,
"Print triplicate".  The script will then run once for each file.

In theory FireFox should be scriptable the same way Word is above.
