default printer
ISTR that in Word 2003 just clicking the print icon on the toolbar would
print using the default (or most recently used?) printer. Now I'm using 2007. Still under XP. I have a QA bar with printer icon but it just brings up the printer dialog box. Is there a way to have quick-print, without having to keep selecting the printer if you're just using the same one, as there used to be? bj |

Perhaps you have customized the QAT? It would seem you must have because
Quick Print is the default QAT button; to get a button that opens the Print dialog, you would have to have added it. -- Suzanne S.

default printer
Thank you.
I had added the regular print icon instead of quick print. I didn't know about quick-print & was doing the customizing from the 'all commands' list as several things I wanted weren't on the short-lists (most popular? or whatever) -- and since they're listed alphabetically q-p isn't near the 'print' choice. If you don't know something exists it's hard to go looking for it. I've got *most* of Word07 working the way I want but do keep finding landmines. Things that work *sort of* the way they used to but have been bleeping "improved" -- and either don't have (because MS thinks you shouldn't want it & *certainly* should do it that way) or I can't find a way to make them work IMO "properly". I've been doing a lot of brute-force managing these past few months just to get simple tasks done. grump mode off Thanks again. bj "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

My point was that you shouldn't have to add Quick Print to the QAT, as it is
one of the buttons that is on the QAT by default. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "bj" wrote in message ... Thank you.

Well, either I deleted it by mistake early on, or some gremlin stole it.
Since I only stumbled across the QAT because I saw an article about it come to my user-group editor's article file offering, I was just glad to have *anything* to help me get the job done; I still have beaucoup trouble with the Ribbon -- I don't seem to think the MS way.

The only way I actually know that it's on there by default (aside from the
fact that I wouldn't have added it, I think) is that it's shone (a version of it, anyway) in the "Welcome to the 2007 Microsoft Office system" guide at http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archiv...31/611552.aspx or http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/jat...heatsheet.aspx, which I keep on my copy stand because it has a screen shot of the Ribbon that I find helpful for reference in helping users. -- Suzanne S.

I shall still have to use it for work stuff, but that ribbon thing is beyond a joke... I shan't be purchasing any more versions. All I can say is... Good job this NG exists, otherwise I'd have disposed of Word 7 a few weeks after purchasing it. So at least thanks for the NG and the advice therein folks. Dave -- Dave Triffid |

Add the Quick Print command to the QAT.
