Hi,

One way to do this is to use a printer driver that can print to jpeg. Then (via Interop) print the first page using such driver. One example is :http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageprinter/[^]

[Addition/Clarification]
- Download the driver from sourceforge (it's a setup for the driver)
- install it
- now write the proper code in C# where you (using interop)
- open the word document
- print the first page to using the printer driver installed
- close the document

No, I won't do the coding for you but here's some good examples about interop:
