Subject:How to create a macro to modify printing? From:Mark Magennis <markmagennis -at- YAHOO -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 1 Oct 1998 06:53:35 -0700
I want to make sure fields are not updated when my Word97 document is
printed.
My plan is to write a macro that intercepts the normal print command
and sets UpdateFieldsAtPrint to False before opening the print dialog.
I have written the following, but "ActiveDocument.PrintOut" just
prints one copy of the document, rather than opening the Print dialog.
Also, I don't know what to call the macro so that it gets run instead
of the normal print command.
Sub PrintFile()
Options.UpdateFieldsAtPrint = False
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
End Sub
Can anyone help me with this? I've never written in WordBasic.
