Default Can't Change Default Number of Print Copies

Check the printer Properties and make sure that multiple copies are not set
there.

Using Word 2003 on Windows 2000, I am unable make a permanent change in

the
default number of print copies for a document.

When I go to print, the default number of copies comes up as 4.

I can change it to 1 using the up/down arrows, but the change does not
persist.

The next time I go to print a document, unless I remember to change the
default number of copies, I will get 4, in the vast majority of cases, 3

more
than I want.

My wife had this problem on her machine some time ago. The only solution

we
found was to delete and reinstall the printer object. Surely there's a
better way.
