    <p>I have an application need to print a MS Word .docx file from the command line. The background is this is on Snow Leopard Server with CUPS-PDF as the default printer. If in the finder I click once on the .docx file to select and then select print from the file menu it opens MS Word (2011 is installed) and prints the file to the spool (via CUPS) in PDF format. Perfect! Now what is the BASH command equivalent of that???</p> <p>I have tried lpr, which only appears to work with straight text files. I have tried OPEN which OPENS MS Word but I see no "print" option for open. I have tried the usual MS Office equivalent (OpenOffice and LibreOffice) which both work but the generated PDF layout is so far from that generated by Word that it is shamefully unacceptable. I tried using osascript = AppleScript = which works but is spotty - it does not always trigger. </p> <p>My challenge is I am creating the .docx outside of word from a template with a PHP program and just need to convert it to PDF retaining all formatting. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
