Printer selection option in envelopes and labels within word.

[Guest]

I would like the ability to select a printer within the Envelope and Labels
section of Word 2003. I have multiple printers and Word retains the last
printer I printed to, but that may not be the printer I want to print
Envelopes or Labels to. Here is what I have to do to get around the issue.
I open a document, choose File, Print, select the printer in question. Click
on the X to close the printer selection window, NOT OK OR CANCEL! Then go
into the Envelopes and Labels section and click Print. It would simplify the
process greatly if I could choose the printer on the fly within the Envelope
and Labels section. Thanks for your time.

FWIW, when you have changed the printer selection, the button choices are
not OK and Cancel but OK and Close; Close will accomplish the same thing as
the X.
