I use VB6/Word Automation to change the printer by assigning .ActivePrinter
='blah blah blah'. It works but it also set the Window default printer to
blah blah blah. Is there another way to do it whithout touching the default
printer. (I can probably save it and change it back, but automation is
quirky sometime and it does not always follow thru)

TIA.
