Note that if Outlook uses Word as editor, Word may not really be closed when
you close Word until you close Outlook also. It may be better to print from
a macro that selects the required printer then reverts to the default having
printed - see

Choosing the printer in the Print dialog box should change the

documents), you should see the default printer again.

We are using Microsoft Word 2003 SP1, SP2, and SP3. Computers are
W2K, XP, and Vista.
Problem: Our computers have multiple printers. If printer A is the
default printer and I want to print the document to printer B. We
hit File...Print and change the printer to printer B. From that
point foward it stays at printer B, as it should. If I leave
printer B selected and close word, the next time I open word Printer
B is still selected. It is not the default print (in the printer
list or under Printers in the Control Panel).
Everything I have read says that when you close word and reopen it,
it should revert back to the default printer. It is only happening
in word, excel is fine. This is happening on all of our computers
(100 plus). Is there a setting that I am missing that tells word to
use last used printer and not to revert to default printer on open.
