Set different printers for different pages of a document

[david epsom dot com dot au]

I am using the Word Application object to create a mail merge document.

Different pages go to different trays.

Now, some of the pages have to go to a different printer, to the fax, and to
email.

Is there any way to set the printer for each section of the document, so
that the document can all be saved and 'printed' later?

You can make do with a few printout commands. You change the printer prior
to the printout and print that particular page, then change again to print
another page.

I would probably just use the "Print certain Pages" area of the print setup area to print all the
pages that go to the same place at once. Then change it and print all the page that go to another
place, and so on and so forth. wouldn't take much longer but gives you full control over
everything.

Or when you do the merge there might be a way to merge so that certain pages create their own
document or something like that.

thank you...

No, there is no way to do this in current versions of Word.
