Anyone know if its poss' to set a diff printer as the default for office apps other than the one specified in windows printer folder(?)
Example - Windows defaults to HP Deskjet895 -BUT- have all office applications default to laserjet 5P....
This would prove VERY helpfull, if anyone knows reg entry,
office key or some such such I can set for this.
Many thanks.
 
Yes!!!!
Go to file>print>click on down arrow and select the printer you want to use in Word and click ok.
If you only have one printer installed on your machine, then you need to go to run>settings>control pannel>printers>add printer>and then configure the 2nd. printer to your machine. After this, go back to Microsoft Word, and follow my directions as stated above.

Hope this helps you!!!!!!
