When someone prints a document, I want to have a macro that adds a watermark
and header/footer information, but when the document is viewed on screen this
information is not visible.
What is the "capture print" instruction, I cant find it anywhere.

You need to create two macros, FilePrint and FilePrintDefault. These will
intercept the built-in Word commands of the same names. FilePrint is the one
that displays the Print dialog. FilePrintDefault prints a copy of the
document to the default printer without displaying a dialog.
