Word Locked

[Trini]

I have a trial version that I just downloaded about two weeks ago. It caused
my previous version to no longer work and my disc to reinstall is corrupted.
It is now locked and will not let me do anything. It did not lock until I
finally put the code in and now I can no longer type. I am a student and a
professional educator so I am highly frustrated with this problem. Can
someone please help me quickly?

Hi

I have a a macro running in Word 2003 to print a label on a networked label printer, by
switching to the label printer, print the label (with some formatting) and then switch
back to the default printer (also networked). All works well except the macro takes 25
seconds to complete. By stepping through the macro I find that the commands that take all
the time are

Application.ActivePrinter = LabelPrinter (switch to label printer)
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Copies:=nNumberCopies, Range:=sPrintRange, Background:=False
Application.ActivePrinter = strActivePrinter (switch to default)


I have found that same problem on another computer where the printers are directly
connected and not on a network. Here only the Application.ActivePrinter statements were
slow.

The PC is a Dual core with 2 GB RAM and a large hard disk.

Has anyone any ideas on how to speed up this macro?


Thanks
