If you have a reference to the Microsoft Word library in your VBA project, all you have to do is search for ActivePrinter in the object browser (F2 in VBA). For any selected object, method, property, etc., press F1 to see its Help topic.

I'm sorry, can you help me just a little more. I want to learn.

Would I find that in the Object Browser? If you could just point me a
little further where to find options for the Word's
Application.ActivePrinter properties it would be much appriciated.

THanks,
Joel

Take a look at Word's Application.ActivePrinter property.

Hello,

I have this bit of code that opens the file, prints it, and close it:

objDoc.Application.Options.PrintBackground = True

objDoc.PrintOut

objDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges



How can I choose a specific printer?

How can I bypass warnings from the word document like "The margins are set
outside of the printable area"?



Thanks,

Joel
