Disable Alerts

[firstcasualty]

How do I prevent Word from alerting me to the fact that my margins are
out of the print range (which in itself is not a problem) every time I
print? I've tried running these in Word VB but no change.

Sub DisableAlerts()
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
End Sub

Sub DisableAlerts()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
End Sub

This is usually due to a slight corruption in the template or the printer
driver. Making sure that you have the latest printer drivers, delete and
reinstall the printer. If that fails, try recreating a new template (note
that if it is just the normal template, close all apps and go to Programs
and Settings, Applications Data, Microsoft, Templates folder and rename
normal.dot as normal.bad).

Are you attempted to automate printing in a macro or is the issue that
you think the notification is an annoyance?

Also, Word obtains the printable area from the printer. So if Word is
telling you your margins are outside the printable area it's getting
this information from your printer. As Terry suggested, obtain an
updated printer driver and see if that corrects the issue.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
