Default MS Word to use default printer, not most recently used printer

Word will reset to the default printer when you close it and reopen it.

Otherwise, if you have a macro that prints your envelopes to the envelope
printer, you could have that macro reset the printer. (Note, in some
versions of Word, if you use a macro to change the printer in Word, it
changes the default printer in Windows as well.)

Is there a way to have MS Word go back to the 'default' printer
automatically. Ex: If you are working on two jobs, one goes to a printer
for
envelopes and one goes to a printer for letters. If the envelope job
prints
last, the next Word document to print will automatically go to the last
printer used.

Thanks in Advance.
