In the "File" menu, "Print" is not available
I received a document created by someone else. In the "File" menu, some of
the usual options are missing. The one I really need is "Print." I want to print to a different printer than my default. (I know I can just change the default but I do not want to do that.) If I open a blank document in the same Word session the menu is OK. I cannot contact the person who created the document. |

The menu has evidently been customized just for this document, so it's not
worth the trouble to fix it; just use Ctrl+P to open the print dialog. -- Suzanne S.

The functionality of Ctrl+P has been disabled also.

That being the case, you are evidently not meant to be able to print the
document. You probably can't Save As, either, I'll bet, and if you try to remove the FilePrint macro that is hijacking the Print dialog, you'll probably find the VBA module is protected. Can you use FilePrintDefault (the Print button)? If so, then you'll have to change the active printer before printing, then change it back afterward. -- Suzanne S.

I can print the document. I can edit and save as the document.
How do I get to the vba code? |

You don't say what version of Word this is. If it's Word 2003 or earlier,
Tools | Macro | Macros will give you a list. If there's one called FilePrint (a macro, not just in the list of Word commands), then that's the one you want to attack. Or, on the off chance that the Ctrl+P shortcut has just been unassigned, you could first look at Tools | Customize | Keyboard. Find File | Print and see if Ctrl+P is still assigned. -- Suzanne S.

It is Word 2002. I entered this discussion group by clicking on "Word 2002"
somewhere in the process. I do not see any macros. The cntrl+P key is assigned to print. Is there anyway to attach the document to a post? |

If it is a document from a third party, you can always prevent macros from
running by setting the security to Medium then refuse to allow them at the inevitable prompt when you open the document. By default CTRL+P will be assigned to FilePrint That would open the print dialog Are you sure that when you are checking the keyboard shortcuts that you have the document selected in the keyboard shortcut dialog and not normal.dot? Settings saved in the document will take priority over those in the normal template. Menu and keyboard assignments can be stored in the document, which is what has probably happened here. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Dave" wrote in message ...

I rechecked the keyboard shortcuts. I was looking at normal.dot. I added
the shortcut to print using Ctrl+P. It works. Thank you. (I'm still curious on how "Print" was removed from the menu.)

It was removed in exactly the same way, by using Tools Customize with the
focus on the document and not the normal template - and can similarly be re-added to the document. As I said earlier, toolbar/menu settings stored in the document take priority over those stored in the normal template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Dave" wrote in message ...
