I am printing to an HP 4200 printer and I have a manual feed tray as tray
1, tray 2 is bond paper and tray 3 is plain paper. When I switch between
trays word holds that tray as default even if I create a new document the
only way it goes back to the original default (which is plain in tray 3)
is to close Word and then reopen or manually change it back. I there a
way to keep it as tray 3 as default when I open new documents?
Thanks for your help.

The simplest way to deal with changing paper trays is to create a printers
toolbar and add to it the commands to print to each of the three trays.

You will need three macros similar to the following (which is for tray2) one
for each tray.

Sub PrintTray2()
With Options
.DefaultTray = "Tray 2" 'define the tray here
End With
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Copies:=1
With Options
.DefaultTray = "Use printer settings"
End With
End Sub
