Default Printer choice not retained when closing document

It is not possible to save the printer selection with a document. As long as
Word is open, however, the printer selected for a given document will remain
the active printer for all documents until another selection is made.

I am having an issue where the printer chosen to print a document is no
longer retained when the document is closed. Upon opening the doc again,

it
reverts to the default printer.

This is haapen on a Windows 2003 network with the printers being shared

from
the server. I tried posting in the Win2003 forums a few weeks back but no
response.

THanks for any help
