How can I save my choice of printer as part of a document?
Windows 2003 I use 2 printers. When I select one for a document, Word
automatically chooses that printer for the next document, until I go into the Print menu & change it to the other printer. I have certain documents/templates that I re-use and that I'll always want to print on a specific printer; I'd like to include that printer choice as part of the document, rather than sometimes having to specifically select it because the previous document was printed on the second printer. Is it possible to save the document in such a way that the printer I've chosen for that document will automatically be the same the next time I print out the document? Actually, I thought that was the SOP in the past. Thanks! |

How can I save my choice of printer as part of a document?
Word has never been able to save a printer selection with a document
(Publisher does this), and there is no built-in feature to do this. It can be done with VBA (a macro) saved in the document. -- Suzanne S.

It has never been SOP -- you need an add-in that you can download from http://www.gmayor.com/Associate_Printer.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
