All you do create a macro "FilePrint" that allows you to intercept the print
command, add in your own dialog box, then add the code that would print out
the document as normal:


Sub FilePrint()
MsgBox "I am printing " + ActiveDocument.Name
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
End Sub


NOTE the macro must be name FilePrint!!!!

To add to Chuck response, there are a number of printing commands in Word
(You can see them by accessing the Word Commands under the Macro-in pull
down in the Macros dialog). For example "FilePrintDefault" and
"FilePrintAll" To capture all attempts to print the document, you will need
a macro with the name of each of them.
