Re: Word 2003, number of copies problem

Hi Sparre,

I have an application that prints out different documents, I use the
"wdDialogFilePrint" and call the Display method. This is because I
need to print out several documents with the same settings and don't
want to show the dialog for every document.

But when, in the dialog, I choose to print out more than one document,
it only prints one. Why is this the case. I remembers the chosen
printer, but not the number of copies.

When you use the Display method Word uses nothing in the dialog box. You
have to capture the information you need and pass it to the PrintOut
method. Or you "roll your own" dialog box.

Since the dialog box arguments are all late-bound properties, how simple
it is for you to pick them up depends on which programming language
you're using? And if it's VB.NET, what's your Option Strict setting?
