W2000 Won't print from lower tray

[Guest]

I am using a brochure template from Paperdirect, and no matter what I do,
Word will not draw paper from Tray1; it will only accept manual feeds into
the top (Brother laser printer). I've changed the settings in Tools/Options,
AND in Print/Properties, but it's still refusing.

I can't print 100 brochures by hand-feeding them one at a time. Any help
would be most appreciated.

Check the paper tray setting in the document itself (Paper or Paper Source
tab of Page Setup).

I tried to use "page setup," but it is greyed out. I don't know if it's
something specific to this template, but this is really a pain.

Thank you in advance for anything you can suggest.

Is the template a protected form? If so, unprotect it and change the paper
source.

PLEASE pardon my ignorance, but it still won't work.

I have:

1) Gone into Tools/Protect Document and un-checked each section.

2) Saved & reloaded the document.

I still have the "page setup" menu item greyed out.

I really wouldn't hassle this if I had a workaround, but I just can't feed
all these brochures manually.

Thank you very much for your continued efforts.

When you say "un-checked each section," are you talking about the Protect
Document task pane? If so, you don't have Word 2000 but 2003. This might
make a difference.

No, it really is Word 2000. Under Tools/Protect Document, there is a checkbox
for Forms; if I check it, the "sections" button is available, and it shows 2
sections which can each be protected. I've unprotected both, and also then
clicked on "Unprotect Document" when I went into Tools again.

Isn't this a LOT of work just to choose the paper bin?

Thanks for your continued efforts.

Okay, that makes sense. Yes, it is a lot of work, and if I were you I would
complain to PaperDirect, especially if you paid for the template. One more
thing to check: see if there is a macro (Tools | Macro | Macros) for
FilePageSetup. If so, it could be intercepting (and blocking) the Page Setup
command.
