C++ - images, .doc files, and printers

howdy, new member here, with lots of questions...

to get started my first question is:

is there a function that'll take in an image, and return an array (of anything, doesnt matter if it's char, int, byte, etc...) with the pixel information in this array...if pixel [0,0] is colored, then the array[0][0] should be true, or have some kind of number in it stating that this pixel is on or off...

my next question is about .doc files...

i'm writing an DOS-based C++ application, and i need to insert tables in the .doc file, or at least be able to adjust the font size....

and last but not least...

there are two commands for the printer in windows XP's command prompt that i'm familiar with...type & print... is there some switch as command line arguments for these programs to print the page as landescape?...

any an all tips are appreciated

There's no options for landscape mode printing.
(you may type the command name adding /? in order to check the available arguments list)

For the image, i'm working with windows...the format doesn't really matter that much (i'll use converters to convert them to whatever format's easier to work with), but jpegs are prefered, and my compiler's Dev-C++, and I sometimes use msvc++
