Word MailMerge does not show print setup dialog

[Bogdan B.]

Hello,

I succesfully used MailMerge to create documents filled with data. But,
since Office XP, the client have lost the ability to select a printer of
their choice
because the print dialog does not show up.

The "engine" works with some template documents, and a RTF document
containing the data.

So, my question is, how can I force Word to show the print dialog when the
Destionation of the
MailMerge document is the printer ?

I tried to make a new document with the results of the mail merge, but,
unfortunately, the only
way to get a print dialog is to execute the document's PrintPreview method,
and my clients does not
accept this.

Can you help me ?

Thanks in advance,
BOGDAN B.

I do not think you can do this without a macro.
