Can I create a Microsoft Word Print Log?

[lug_wrench]

I would like to be able to automatically create a print log that is updated
each time a given document is printed. At a minimum the log should include
the date and time. It would be great if it also included the computer name
that it was printed from and the # of copies printed. Is this feasilble?
Thank you.

I think you'd have to get them to print from a toolbar button instead of
using the standard File->Print dialogue. That way you could catch it and save
certain data to a file when they use it.

Yes.

If you want more than that, you have to tell us which information you need. And
you need to provide the version of Word involved.

computer name. Thanks.

What I meant was, you have to tell us at what point you're stuck in creating the
program yourself. What have you tried? Or are you expecting free consulting work?
