Word Macro

[apache_cat]

Had a customer this week that wanted a word macro set up to print 1st page to letterhead and then all other pages to normal tray. I know you can set up defaulted print driver. But problem arises when you have word docs that have page set ups pointing to an old printer i.e. different brand.

Ok so I am not a guru by any means with word macros in fact never macroed before but after some googling I found this site Print to a specific printer.

With some plagurism of the codes and using the method described on this site to determine what the tray id codes are I was able to come up with a solution that works a treat. So it prints to a specific printer from specific trays and then returns to the default printer.

I tried to upload it as .bas file but site wont allow this so have upoaded word doc. Please ask if you want more info.

Feel free to try for yourself if anyone has better code or idea please share.

Here is another Macro that comes in really handy with Mail Merges. Basically, when printing a Mail Merge, Word will treat it as a single job, so finishing operations can't be performed on a single document.

Have a read of this which also gives the macro code to use.
