A couple of possibilities present themselves.

1. Create duplicate 'printers' in Windows and set them up to address the
different bins, then add a printers toolbar and simply print the document
using the appropriate printer (or change the print options in vba) - see
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm which describes the macro code to
make it work.

2. If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT
field. A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send
instructions directly to the printer. Thus you can set up documents to print
from the required bin. You'll need to check the printer manual for the
relevant print commands.

e.g for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }

Hi. I frequently switch paper modes rather than have trays stacked
with paper in a variety of bins. So for instance I'll print/change to
upper tray, and use letterhead. The rest of the time I want to print
from the built-in auto tray---plain copy paper. But I always forget
to switch back.

Is there some way to make a particular tray the DEFAULT so that a
change made in a particular document is either only for that document
or only for that session? So that next time it defaults back to my
auto tray?
