MS Word printing outside useable print area.

[MO-KAN SHO]

I have emails sent to me at work with .RTF format attachments.

I also have a program which automatically prints them.

MS Word is the program assigned to open this file type because it displays and prints it without including all the formatting mumbo-jumbo.

The filename is never the same.


My question is: Is it possible to setup Word to automatically allow files to print even though it is slightly outside of the "useable print area"?

If I can get around the msgbox Word throws for this error, then I won't have to mess with the attachment at all.

If there's a default setting I can change for this I don't know about it, and I'm ot familiar enough with VBA to know if I can write a universal code to get around this.


If you know of a better forum to post this question, let me know... I couldn't find a decent forum for Word... maybe I'm just spoiled becuase this forum is so useful and popular?

Hi

Why don't you tell the printer the paper size is larger than you are using, set up a custom size slightly larger.

Okay, that will work when I change the setting on the file... however, when my program prints the attachment, it creates a new file everytime.

So how do I set the custom sizing to be the Word default? Or is it possible?

Is it possible to write a code that sets the page size everytime *any* excel file is opened? I"m sure it could be done with one specific file, but since my program creates a new file everytime, this won't work.
