Printing to different paper in a 2-page merge document
I have a 2-page document, each page of which will be personalized via mail
merge. I need to print the first and second pages on different paper for each set of letters. I know how to set the printer options when I have a single 2-page letter, but I can't figure out how to do it for the merged letters. How do I set it up so the printer alternates pulling from tray 1 (for first page) and tray 2 (for continuation page) of the letters? Thanks in advance. |

Printing to different paper in a 2-page merge document
If you execute the merge to a new document and then use a macro containing
the following code on that document, it will send each letter to the printer as a separate print job, which may allow you to achieve what you want. Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = 1 To .Sections.Count .PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i Next i End With -- Hope this helps.

Thank you for the information. However, I have never worked with macros so I
have no idea how to include it in the merged document.

You don't 'include it in the document' you run it with the merged docuemnt
open. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Shelly wrote: Thank you for the information.
