What Doug means is that you could, for instance, create a macro that throws
up a msgbox that says "Printing of this document is prohibited." As long as
you name the macro as directed by Doug, then instead of the document
printing, the macro runs, and they'd get the message.

Doug:

Sorry lost/confused about the FilePrint and or FilePrintDefault macro...
Will this disable printing for this document... All of our users security
level is set at medium... Thanks...

For this to work on just one document, the macro would have to be in
that
document and assuming that your organisation has the macro security
level
set to at least medium (you're crazy if it's not set at least to that),
the
users will be asked if they want to enable or disable the macros that
are in
the document when they open it. If they choose to disable the macros,
which
they should do as a matter of course, a macro in the document will do
you no
good.

However, for your reference, if you create macros named FilePrint and
FilePrintDefault, those macros will run (subject to the above) when the
user
attempts to print.

VBA? a pre written script? That might work, I don't think our users
will
realize to disable the macros to print it... Can I find this on the
web?
Is
this something you can send me? (secure
e-mail,
rename file extension) Thanks...

Impossible, really. We'd have to use VBA to keep them from printing
it,
and
they can just disable macros. There's really no way to keep anyone
from
printing anything you send them.
