Is there any way to turn off PrintToFile without actually having to
print anything? I've got an application that I enable the PrintToFile
option to create a file for spooling to a network printer. I've been
clearing the PrintToFile by setting it false and printing a zero page
document back to the default printer. Unfortunately, while nothing
prints, it results in a banner page printing, which our systems folks
need to be on. Anybody found a way to toggle this off?

Hi Mort. It took me a while to figure this out, but give this a try:

With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
.Application.PrintOut PrintToFile:=True
.Update
.Show
End With

Once you're satisfied it's working, you can remove the .Show line.
