Default Changing default print settings

Short answer - I don't know. I have crossposted this to the vba forum to see
if anyone can spot what I am missing.

Copy and paste from the original message to your vba editor

If you mean the ones in the msgbox text, check the quotes around
"print with markup" are straight quotes - I don't know enough about
quotes in international languages if you are not using an English
version to suggest a substitute.

Thank you for your reply, however, I have copied your macro and
got the following error message:

Compile Error:
Invalid otside procedure

Any ideas what this means?

Thanks again.

The printer setting is determined by the document setting on the
reviewing toolbar. If that is set to 'showing markup' then so
will the printer.

A workaround would be to intercept the toolbar print button to
provide the choice eg

Sub FilePrintDefault()
Dim sPrint As String
sPrint = MsgBox("Print with Markup", vbYesNo)
If sPrint = vbYes Then
Application.PrintOut Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentWithMarkup
Else
Application.PrintOut Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent
End If
End Sub


You can still change individual items from the file print
command.

Hi all

I have a large document which contains numerous comments. When
I print this document, 9 times out of 10 I want to print it
WITHOUT the comments, however, I tend to forget to change the
setting in the Print dialog box, and it is defaulted to
'document showing markup', therefore the comments print too.

If I change the setting to 'document', it changes for that one
print only and when I print it again, it goes back to 'showing
markup'. Is there a default setting I change somewhere for
printing, so the by default the comments don't print?

Thank you.
