Manual Feed printing in Word Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm having a little problem with Microsoft Word and a VBScript and was wondering if anyone had any insight. Here's the code:

objWord.Selection.Font.Size = 8
objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TopMargin = 36
objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.BottomMargin = 36
objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.FirstPageTray = 4
objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OtherPagesTray = 4
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\Test\Test.doc"

Everything works, except that the page setup is set to the default tray when I open the document. I want it to be a manual feed. I only put in the top and bottom margins because the bottom margin was being set to 0, and when I did a preview I got the error message about the margins being outside of the printable region. Now I do not get that anymore, but still no manual feed. Anyone ever run into anything like this before? Thanks.

Ok, I used the macro recorder in Word while doing this manually and found out that the you need to use 257 for the tray constants.

objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.FirstPageTray = 257
objWord.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.OtherPagesTray = 257

Don't ask me why this works, but it does. All of the documentation Microsoft provides says 4.
