How can I print envelopes on a separate printer
I want to have a separate printer attached just to print envelopes. My
Regular multi-function machine is great for letters, but it is inconvenient to keep switching the paper tray on it. It seems I have to go in and switch my printer first, then go to the "envelopes and labels' function , then switch it back. Any way I can make this streamlined? |

How can I print envelopes on a separate printer
For handling multiple printers you would be better off using an envelope
template - automated samples available from the downloads page of my web site. Then consider the method described at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm for handling the printers. If you want to retain the use of the wizard you could intercept the label wizard and add the printer change routine. The following saved in normal.dot will do that: Sub ToolsEnvelopesAndLabels() Dim sCurrentPrinter As String Dim sQuery As String sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter sQuery = MsgBox("Print Envelopes?", vbYesNo, "Envelopes & Labels") If sQuery = vbYes Then '**************************************** ActivePrinter = "Put Envelope Printer Name Here" '**************************************** Dialogs(wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabels).Show ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter Else Dialogs(wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabels).Show End If End Sub Note that if you use the wizard to add an envelope to a document the printer active at the start of the macro will be retained. Put the name of your envelope printer where indicated http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org David Nalley wrote: I want to have a separate printer attached just to print envelopes.
