I'm working on a small VB-Word automation program which generates and prints
a Word Document. The only problem that I face is that Word fires a warning
dialogue stating that the borders of the document are beyond the printable
regions. Each time I need to click 'OK' within this window and the printing
is done without any problem. Since the warning dialogue pops up with each
document this kills my automation. How can I (temporary) get rid of this
annoying pop up without changing the Word document by Word VBA coding?

Have you tried with this line of code at the beginning of your Sub:

Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone

and with this at the end:

Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll

Salut!

Hi Jean-Guy,

I've tried that and it didn't help. The warning dialog still appears and
asks me whether I want to continue. Maybe it's not a Word standard warning
dialogue

regards,
Oscar

I don't think you can, short of fixing the actual problem causing the prompt.
Is this always the same document?

Do they all come from the same source? Usually if you see this message there's
something wrong in the document (a picture out in the margins, for example).
The document(s) (and the source from which they're coming) need to be fixed.

Or you need to find a printer with a driver that can handle this special
situation.

Hi all,

Had that problem some month ago.

Setting the alerts to none does not work if backgroung printing option is
selected.
Try this :
Dim temp as boolean
temp = Application.Options.PrintBackground
Application.Options.PrintBackground = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll
Application.Options.PrintBackground = temp

Regards
Jean-Yves
