Print without Drawing Objects

[MJones]

Hi All,

Since Word doesn't save printer settings with documents, I need a macro
that will uncheck Tools > Options > Print Tab > Drawing Objects when
print or print preview are selected, and of course, check it back again
afterwards.

Can someone recommend the best place to begin learning stuff like this.
I'm pretty good at Word, and can record macros until the cows come
home, but have no idea how to make a button run a macro.

Thanks,

Michele

The value that your macro needs to change is
Options.PrintDrawingObjects, which can be True (checked) or False
(unchecked).
