New documents automatically default to manual print tray - Word 20
Every time I begin a new document & attempt to print it, it automatically
defaults to the paper tray that requires manual feed for printing. In other words, all saved documents are automatically printed when sent to the printer, but new documents require me to walk to the printer and either feed paper or change the tray. I imagine that I need to change the settings (currently set to manual tray for new documents) but where & how do I do this? Thanks in advance. -- Thanks, Karen |

This is a variant of a common problem in which stray text gets saved in the Normal.dot template. In your case, it's the paper tray setting that has been saved there. Use the procedure in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. After changing the paper tray setting in Normal.dot, add a character or space to the body of the template and delete it, so Word knows it has a change that needs to be saved. -- 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. |

New documents automatically default to manual print tray - Wor
Thanks a bunch, Jay, it worked perfectly! FYI in Word 2007 the document is
named Normal.dot instead of Normal.dot as in earlier versions. -- Thanks, Karen "Jay Freedman" wrote: Karen wrote: Every time I begin a new document & attempt to print it, it automatically defaults to the paper tray that requires manual feed for printing.

Great, thanks for letting me know it worked.
Yes, Word 2007 uses Normal.dotm. But your first post never said what version you had, so I guessed. Karen wrote: Thanks a bunch, Jay, it worked perfectly!

Really this is not necessary. All that is required is to create a new Blank
Document and, without making any other changes, go to the Paper tab of Page Setup and choose the correct tray, then click Default... and answer yes. -- Suzanne S.
