Thanks, Graham.

Printing in the manner described is not something I have ever had cause to
do so I don't know when or why the behaviour changed - however you can print
out all the documents in a selected folder using the following macro:

http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub BatchProcess()
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim fDialog As FileDialog
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

With fDialog
.Title = "Select folder and click OK"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
If .Show -1 Then
MsgBox "Cancelled By User", , _
"List Folder Contents"
Exit Sub
End If
strPath = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)
If Right(strPath, 1) "\" _
Then strPath = strPath + "\"
End With

If Documents.Count 0 Then
Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges
End If
If Left(strPath, 1) = Chr(34) Then
strPath = Mid(strPath, 2, Len(strPath) - 2)
End If
strFilename = Dir$(strPath & "*.doc")

While Len(strFilename) 0
Set oDoc = Documents.Open(strPath & strFilename)
oDoc.PrintOut
oDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges
strFilename = Dir$()
Wend
End Sub

Hi. I used to be able to print a considerable (about 100) number of
separate
doc files by selecting them all and right-clicking and selecting print,
but
this has stopped working. When I do that now, the icon changes to an
hourglass for about 3 seconds but then it goes back to an arrow and
nothing
happens.

Nothing has changed with the computer or the printer. I can print single
doc files fine. Any ideas why this happened and any ideas of how to fix
it?
Or, I guess, any recommendations for a batch print program?
