printing a Word document with the print dialog

[Jon Kruger]

Hello everyone,

I'm using Word automation to print a Word document, which I do by calling
Document.PrintOut(). This prints the document without bringing up the print
dialog.

Is there some way that I can bring up the print dialog so that they can
change the print settings before the document gets printed?

Instead of ActiveDocument.Printout, use this line

Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show

In case anyone was wondering, Dialogs is a property on the
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application object.
