Printing order
Hello again,
I have a macro (really in Word) that opens and parses information from other documents then prints out a summary. It will print out one of 2 types of summary and then the document. The problem is that it will always print out the first summary a few documents late, and this gets buried in between subsequent documents/summaries. Sometimes, the other summary- document pairs get mixed up as well, but not as often. I refrence the documents by name to open/print/ close etc, ( which is a pain at times) and am thinking about assigning a document object to cover this - will this help? Is there a way to tell the macro to wait until the document has gone to the printer before processing futher - or could it be a problem in the network printer queue ( and if so, what do I do). Thanks, Jim |

Printing order
You may want to try one of the MSWord newsgroups for a good answer.
But how about one that might be useful (or maybe not!). Inside MSWord tools|Options|Print tab turn off background printing. This means that MSWord will wait till the print job finishes before continuing. You ever try to close MSWord when a job is still printing--you get prompted with a warning. Turning this setting off is one way around that problem. Maybe it'll work for you. (If it doesn't, I'd go down the hall and ask in one of the MSWord groups.)
