mail merge in Word 2002

[Asa]

The following code works just the way i want it to in a
document in Word 2000: it shows the dialogbox for Print...

With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToPrinter
.Execute Pause:=False
End With

When run in 2002 the dialogbox doesn't appear, it just
prints the document. Are there any changes in the way
execute works or what? Does somebody know?

Hi Asa,

The following code works just the way i want it to in a
document in Word 2000: it shows the dialogbox for Print...

With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToPrinter
.Execute Pause:=False
End With

When run in 2002 the dialogbox doesn't appear, it just
prints the document. Are there any changes in the way
execute works or what?

Yes, the default behavior was changed. I think too many
developers complained about having to merge to a new document
then print... I know of no way to change how it works, but
you could possibly do something with the
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint) to capture what the users chooses
and have the mail merge behave accordingly.

what kinds of thing(s) might the user want to change before
the print job spools?
