Could the author be wrong?

[Just Me]

I found the following in a book:

With PageSetupdialog1
.PageSettings=PD1.DefaultPageSettings
if .ShowDialog() = DialogResultOK then _
PD1.DefaultPageSettings= .PageSettings
end with

Seems to me that PageSetupDialog1.PageSettings
and PD1.DefaultPageSettings reference the same object
so the statement
PD1.DefaultPageSettings = .PageSettings
is not needed.

No big deal here except it may point to a misunderstanding on my part.

Can you confirm that it is not needed or tell me why it is?

Thank

'DefaultPageSettings' gets or sets page settings that are used as defaults
for all pages to be printed. These settings can be changed in
'PageSetupdialog1'. If the page setup dialog doesn't create a new
'PageSettings' object it's not necessary to assign it to the document's
'DefaultPageSettings' property.

Thanks,
That is what PD.DefaultPageSettings is used for.

I haven't been able, by reading Help, to determine what
PD.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings

is used for!



Thanks again
