MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2004Print grouping or batching
I have an automated merge process that creates many separate word documents. Flexible paragraphs from another database are added to individual documents using the magic of VBA. This requirement eliminates the ability to merge all documents into a single output. Each of the individual documents needs to be printed to a network printer. The printer is not dedicated to this task and other print requests end up interspersed in the print. In VBA is there a way to keep all of my print together? Can I open a spool, loop through printing all documents, close the spool? I also thought that I could create and append to a PRN file, but I have not found out how to automate sending the PRN to a network printer. I am using Word 2000 9.0 on Windows 2000 Hi Ron, See the article “Print all documents in a given folder to a single print file” at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/PrintAllDocsInFldr.htm  SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

I have seen some articles that discuss capturing the LPT1 printer, but they seem to be referring to NetWare. My printers are controlled by Windows 2000 Server networks.
