Printing Envelopes
Can someone please help
I using microsoft word 2002. When I use ToolsLetters & Mailings Envelopes and Labels, I want to direct the output to a specific printer. That menu option always sends to the last printer used. Thanks Ian |

Have you tried setting that printer as the default before you start the
envelope? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Ian Turk" wrote in message ... Can someone please help I using microsoft word 2002.

Thanks JoAnn,
That isnt the answer though - the output still goes to the printer that was last used. I am trying to set up so that an old printer can be stacked up with envelopes, and that I can easily direct envelope addresses to that printer. So far no luck!

was last used. I don't think so. Word always uses the currently active printer. If you open the Print dialog, change the printer selection, and click Close, your envelopes should be printed to the selected printer. -- Suzanne S.

If you use an envelope template (there are samples for download from my web
site) you can use the method shown at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to print to the current document (the envelope) to the specific printer. If you use the label wizard you must set the active printer (as suggested by JoAnn) in the print dialog before you print. You can do this with a macro, but it is all too easy to forget which printer is active - whereas the suggested method always returns focus to the default printer. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ian Turk wrote: Thanks JoAnn, That isnt the answer though - the output still goes to the printer that was last used.

Thanks Suzanne and Graham.
They both look like useful answers. I am particuly keen to use your macros Graham. However as it is now 2.30a,m here in New Zealand, I think this can now wait for the weekend before I play around with this any more. Cheers Ian "Ian Turk" wrote in message ...
