Default New documents automatically default to manual print tray - Wor

Thanks a bunch, Jay, it worked perfectly! FYI in Word 2007 the document is
named Normal.dot instead of Normal.dot as in earlier versions.

In other words, all saved documents are automatically printed when
sent to the printer, but new documents require me to walk to the
printer and either feed paper or change the tray.

I imagine that I need to change the settings (currently set to manual
tray for new documents) but where & how do I do this?

Thanks in advance.


This is a variant of a common problem in which stray text gets saved in the
Normal.dot template. In your case, it's the paper tray setting that has been
saved there.

Use the procedure in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. After changing the
paper tray setting in Normal.dot, add a character or space to the body of
the template and delete it, so Word knows it has a change that needs to be
saved.
