Hi

I have a form I have created in Word that I need printed 3 times each
time it's filled out. Is that a macro that can do this automatically?

Thanks

Melanie

Try this for the code:

ActiveDocument.Printout ,Copies:=3

I don't know if you want to tie this to the print button on the toolbar
or do it automatically when someone justs hits print, but I,m sure the
code for you would be something like this.

Also try this link:

Hi Melanie,

For a non-vba solution that'll work with any postscript printer, try a PRINT
field coded as:
{PRINT \p page "/#copies 3 def"}
If you insert this in the header, 3 copies of all pages will be printed
every time the file is sent to the printer; otherwise, it prints 3 copies of
whatever page it's on.

Cheers
