Select printer by Word 2007 template?
Can anyone suggest how I can select a printer (and possibly a tray from that
printer) when a particular Word 2007 template is opened? I want to do this without altering the system default printer. -- Nigel M If I'm discussing apples, please don't suggest bananas |

If you name the macro AutoNew (or make it part of an existing AutoNew macro
saved in the template), it will run when you create a new document based on the template, which I imagine is what you mean. An AutoOpen macro would run when the template is opened, but ordinarily you wouldn't be opening the template. -- Suzanne S.

You could do that as indicated by Suzanne, but it would be better to change
the printer at print time then back to the original printer to avoid affecting other documents. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nigel Molesworth wrote: On Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:48:02 +0000, Nigel Molesworth wrote: Can anyone suggest how I can select a printer (and possibly a tray from that printer) when a particular Word 2007 template is opened?

An AutoClose macro could reset the printer. But I suppose a specific
FilePrint and/or FilePrintDefault macro stored in the template could accomplish what you suggest without requiring users to run a specific macro in order to print. -- Suzanne S.

Selecting the printer in the FilePrint and FilePrintDefault macros in the
specific template is indeed the preferred method. The code to do that, without affecting the default printer setting, is in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...CurPrinter.htm. Explanation of the two print macros is in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...tSavePrint.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
