Is there an "on print" property like in Access?

[Southern at Heart]

When the user clicks on the print button to print a document made by my
custom template, I need to execute a macro afterwards. Is there something
like an "on print" property that I can add to my template that will have this
affect on all documents made from it?
thanks,

It isn't quite a case of running a separate macro after printing. You write a
macro with the specific name FilePrint, and that macro executes _instead_ of the
built-in Print command on the File menu. That macro can do whatever you need it
to do, and one of the things it should do is call
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show to display the Print dialog and actually print
the document.

You'll also want a similar macro named FilePrintDefault that intercepts the
print button on the toolbar. That one should, among other things, call
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False to carry out the printing without
showing the dialog.
