How do I set up a word document to automatically print two copies

[Guest]

I would like to set up a word document that we use as an order form to
automatically print two copies, as we require once copy for our records and
the other to be sent away. Unfortunately people forget to copy/print twice
the document.

We are using current versions of Word for both Mac and PC.

You will need code for this.

Create a macro called FilePrint to override the normal print command - and,
if necessary, one called FilePrintDefault to override the button on the
Standard Toolbar. In this macro you can automatically print two copies, or
display the print dialog with a default of 2 copies pre-entered, for
example. Alternatively create a separate toolbar button to print two copies
of this document.

Sample code ...

Sub FilePrint
With Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
.NumCopies = 2
.Show
End With
End Sub
