Formatting printers for Word2003.
I have WindowsXP/MediaCentre2005, and Word2003
(just upgraded from Word2000). We print all our colour labels from Word using an OKI colour printer. After our upgrade to Word2003 it is necessary to go to the "Page Setup" and format every label page to the OKI printer's "Multipurpose Tray" and then save the results, after which this is set permanently. This is all too hard, so could someone tell us a way to do this operation "globally" for all the documents we us for this printer. There is nothing in the OKI printer documentation about this. Please help, Frank |

For new labels change the setting in the label wizard options.
For existing label documents. The simplest plan would be to create a print macro. Change the 2 lines where shown and use this macro to print your labels. Sub PrintLabelFeed() Dim sCurrentPrinter As String sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter ActivePrinter = "OKI Color Printer" ' put the correct OKI printername here With Options .DefaultTray = "Tray 2" 'Put the required tray here End With Application.PrintOut FileName:="" With Options .DefaultTray = "Use printer settings" End With ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Frank Martin wrote: I have WindowsXP/MediaCentre2005, and Word2003 (just upgraded from Word2000).
