Word 7 -default printer changes

L

Launcher1

Using Word 7. I create an Adobe pdf from within a Word document and the
printer default changes from my usual network printer to the Adobe PDF
converter.

Every time I create a PDF, I have to go in afterwards and manually change
the default back again.

Can I fix this?

It shouldn't do that, but nothing surprises me with Word.
The following macros in normal.dotm should fix it for all but the current
document (while it remains open). See
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm for background.

Sub AutoNew()
Dim sPrinter As String
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
sPrinter = .Printer
.Printer = "Put your default printer name here"
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
Dim sPrinter As String
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
sPrinter = .Printer
.Printer = "Put your default printer name here"
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub
Sub AutoExec()
Dim sPrinter As String
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
sPrinter = .Printer
.Printer = "Put your default printer name here"
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub
