Word Macro (Word 2000)

Unable to get a macro to work in Word 2000 that worked in Word 97. I’m attempting to create a macro to change the print paper setting to manual feed. It doesn’t seem to create that change. I record the macro but it doesn’t execute. What am I missing? Carol

Can you post the code that did work in W97 and now doesn’t in W2K? We can then see if there are problems with the code.

I didn’t save the code. Just duplicated the recording of the macro in Word 2000 after we upgraded from 97.

If you are trying to make a permanaent change use:

Options.DefaultTray = “Manual Feed”

If you want to have a custom macro to print the Active Document using the Manual Feed Tray, something like this should take care of it

Dim strOldSetting as String

‘Save the current setting to restore it when we are done
strOldSetting = Options.DefaultTray
‘Set the tray to manual
Options.DefaultTray = “Manual Feed”
‘Print the Active Document
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
‘Restore setting
Options.DefaultTray = strOldSetting
