How do I set the default to "other/custom" for Label Products?

[Guest]

How do I set the default to "other/custom" for Label Products under Label
Options? My end users are very frustrated that they have to select
"other/custom" when printing labels, all they use is the custom labels I have
created for them.

Also when I create new labels how do I set the default to "Manual Feed in
Tray 1" so users don't have to select this every time they need to print a
label or evelope?

In this situation, perhaps it would be more helpful to create label
templates, which could be stored on a Labels tab in File New. You can then
set the paper tray as desired.

Is there a way to move the custom labels I have created into "avery
standard"? Also is there a way to set the default printer tray to "Manual
Feed Tray 1"?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No, there is no way to do either of those things, which is why I suggested
that label templates might be more suitable for you than label definitions.
Select one of the label definitions you have already created, click New
Document, change the printer tray assignment, and save the document as a
template.

As Suzanne has indicated it is not possible to move the custom labels into
other groups, but Word should display the last used label, which may be a
custom label.

The printer issue is a little more complex. You can set the default label
print option by opening the vba editor and pressing CTRL+G (immediate
window) and type
Application.MailingLabel.DefaultLaserTray = wdPrinterManualFeed
then press enter.
or run a macro containing that line.

WdPaperTray can be one of these WdPaperTray constants.
wdPrinterAutomaticSheetFeed
wdPrinterDefaultBin
wdPrinterEnvelopeFeed
wdPrinterFormSource
wdPrinterLargeCapacityBin
wdPrinterLargeFormatBin
wdPrinterLowerBin
wdPrinterManualEnvelopeFeed
wdPrinterManualFeed
wdPrinterMiddleBin
wdPrinterOnlyBin
wdPrinterPaperCassette
wdPrinterSmallFormatBin
wdPrinterTractorFeed
wdPrinterUpperBin
