Default document created in old Normal.dot


A coworker was printing labels in Word 2003. She changed her paper to
the bypass tray so she could hand feed the labels. She forgot to change
back to the regular letter size tray when she was creating documents
after that. Now those documents default to the bypass tray of the
printer. My guess is that the normal.dot was changed to the bypass
accidentally. I helped her change the normal.dot back to the right
tray, but our question now is: Will all of the documents she created in
the wrong normal.dot need to be changed to print on the right paper
individually? Hoping that makes sense, Colleen. Thanks for your help.

Printer information is not necessarily stored with documents (or in
normal.dot), however check page setup of one of your documents and see if
the paper tray allocation is correct. The paper settings are stored in the
registry and with the printer driver.

A method of printing to a specific printer and/or tray to avoid this issue
can be found at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm
