Hi,

I am creating an addin and one of the features it needs to do is save a copy
of the Word document to an audit trail when the document is printed. Does
anybody know how I am able to capture print events within Word 2007? I can't
find any information regarding capture events in Word 2007 anywhere

Thanks in advance

Sorry - should also have said that I am writing the application using VS2003
(.net 1.1).

You can intercept Word commands by creating a macro with the same name as
the command.

As there are a couple of print commands, you would need one for each of
FilePrint and FilePrintDefault.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
