Letterhead Printing
Hi, My company has a regular word document template called letterhead.dotx. We use it for most documents. We send these documents to several other companies, dozens in fact. The largest company is having a problem printing these documents. When they print the document, from any station, it forces the print on THEIR company letterhead. I have spoken with their IT support, who claims it is the documents problem, something about tags or embedded pre-print commands. I did not create this template, nor can I contact the person who did. I am not familiar with creating templates or what is involved. But this issue HAS to be fixed, and I do not know what to do. Thanks for any help. NW -- Northern_Wolf |

Letterhead Printing
When you send your document, its properties say that it is attached to a
template named "letterhead." This company doesn't have your template but does have one of its own called "letterhead.dotx," and, at a guess, this template contains an AutoOpen macro that updates the attached document with the current letterhead (so that any document based on that template, when printed, will always be printed with the current version of the letterhead). It's unlikely that you'll be able to get them to change the name of their template, but you can change the name of yours to Northern Wolf Letterhead.dotx or whatever. -- Suzanne S.

Hrm. One thing to make clear: When I say it forces them to print on their company letterhead, I mean that specific tray in the printer. It does not change the format of the document in any way, it simply will ONLY print to the printer set up on theri network that holds their letterhead. -- Northern_Wolf |

Does your document specify the paper tray to use (rather than
"default")? In Word 2003 this is in file--page setup, and in 2007 it is on the page layout tab under page setup (click the tiny icon in the bottom right of that section). If the paper tray is specified in Word it will override the printer driver settings, if this is what you mean by "print on their letterhead". Another option is to send PDFs instead of word documents, if you have the facility (built in to 2007). Northern_Wolf wrote: Hi, My company has a regular word document template called letterhead.dotx.

Word, without the help of macros, does not store the printer information
with the document. It does store the tray information (page setup paper), provided the printers used have the same tray access codes. It apepars that either you have a Print field in the document - Press ALT+F9 to display fields - which is addressing the printer driver directly, or you have a macro solution - such as http://www.gmayor.com/Associate_Printer.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Northern_Wolf" wrote in message ...

Graham, The only codes that Alt-F9 reveal are NUMPAGES in the header. No special Add-in or macro has been created to associate this document with a printer.
