MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / May 2006Default setting numbe rof copies in templates
I use WORD 2002. I'm creating *.dot templates and I want to submit the number of copies to be printed when using the template in the word document. So, when I want 3 copies it should submitted by the template to WORD and when I print, it should always print 3 copies and not 1 as the default setting is. Is there any help ? Number of copies is not a setting that the template will retain. You could write a macro that traps the print command and set the value there; but then you'd have to distribute the macro also, which is not worth doing for such a trivial objective. Automatically printing multiple copies is a silly idea anyway. What if the user wants to print to PDF or fax? Or they've worked out that printing once and photocopying twice is cheaper? >I use WORD 2002.

Thanks, but the situation is as follows: I use templates to issue documents like invoices, contracts, etc. Therefore I want to submit the number of copies to be printed. The user should not type all the time this number manually (to avoid double work) Writing a macro force an immediate print.... Do you have any idea ? TKF It's an easy macro to write: trap the Print function and set the number of copies. But if you think this will reduce the amount of work in your office, you shouldn't be writing macros. > Thanks, but the situation is as follows: > I use templates to issue documents like invoices, contracts, etc. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > TKF
