Default Is there a way to save just one Word doc to print manually and leave default print at auto select?

Install the printer twice. Rename one of the Printer drivers as Manual.
Change the default settings for each driver as required. Add them both a
buttons on your QAT.

Hi All,

I'm using Office 2007 at work and home but mostly at work I may have 2 or
3 specific documents that I save as a shell so to speak, and would save it
with a specific title after setting the print to 'manual'. But after I do
that, it seems that ALL my Word docs will print manual unless I change
back the print choice to 'auto select'.

Is there some way to just save these few documents as 'print manually' and
leave the default print option at 'auto select' so i don't have always
remember to go back to change 'manual' to 'auto' after I'm done with the
document that I want to print 'manually'?

The manual print jobs require our company stationary but the majority of
my Word docs just require plain paper so I'd use auto select from the
paper tray.

I hope this makes sense. Word does so many magnificent things, I just
think there MUST be a way to save the print option just for those few
manual print docs without having to change back the setting for everything
else.

Thanks for any ideas anyone...........katy
