Print without stapler Wayne-I-M 12/23/2008 4:02:08 PM Hi We have a HP 4250 laserjet which we normally have on auto stapler I am designing a large print run (from ms access) and one of the parts of this is to call a small module to open word - print a doc - closes word Problem is I know very little about word. I can't see the option to turn off the stapler. Any ideas Many thanks -- Wayne Trentino, Italia.

RE: Print without stapler Rae Drysdale 12/23/2008 4:44:02 PM Stapling is not a Word function. You may find something in the properties dialog box when you select Print from the File menu. Otherwise you would need to consult the printer manual. -- Rae Drysdale "Wayne-I-M" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi > > We have a HP 4250 laserjet which we normally have on auto stapler > I am designing a large print run (from ms access) and one of the parts of > this is to call a small module to open word - print a doc - closes word > > Problem is I know very little about word.

RE: Print without stapler Wayne-I-M 12/23/2008 4:57:00 PM Yep - thought that. I could always insert the word doc as an OLE in an access form but then users would not be able to change it (I haqve blocked them making changes to database objects). It seems that all other part of Office bring up the full printer options except word. There is only a very basic printer option with word. V strange -- Wayne Trentino, Italia.

Re: Print without stapler "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/23/2008 5:05:43 PM There won't be an option in Word to turn off the stapler. If this can be controlled from your computer at all, the setting will be in the printer Properties. -- Suzanne S.

Re: Print without stapler Wayne-I-M 12/23/2008 5:23:01 PM There is an option to turn off the stapler (and everything else) when you -- file - print But I was looking for a way to save the settings for the specific doc. I tried saving the format in the printer options but when you go back to the doc and select specific printer from the option the full dialog box is not there. I can turn off the stapler in the printer settings but this will then save this for all print jobs - most of which need stapling. Oh well - looks like another OLE Many thanks Happ Christmas from a very snowy Northern Italy -- Wayne Trentino, Italia. "Suzanne S.

Re: Print without stapler Wayne-I-M 12/23/2008 6:47:02 PM OK, no problems. I'll cancel the shell call from access. Just have to run it as an OLE then I can use the printer options save in access. Will add another function to shell call the word doc for users to edit - this way the linked OLE will be what they want to print. Thanks for the time anyway -- Wayne Trentino, Italia. "Suzanne S.
