Printing All Open Documents
Summary: Need to print out all the documents you have open? Word doesn’t provide a way to do this, but the macro in this tip will make short work of the task. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
Periodically you may be working with multiple documents on the screen at the same time, and you want to print them all. It can be cumbersome, at best, to manually switch between documents and then choosing to print each one. The following macro allows you to print all open documents:
Sub PrintAllDocuments
' Step through the open document windows
For Each Doc In Documents
Doc.PrintOut
Next Doc
End Sub
This macro prints the documents to the default printer.
Tip #401 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 2000 2002 2003 2007
