Batch printing without launching word
Hi all,
What is the preferred way to batch print a number of word documents? I find that if I select several documents and send them to the printer I have to suffer them popping up briefly one at a time as they are sent.. This is not very convenient when I am trying to do other things on the computer. I searched on the web and spotted a number of third party batch processing programs, but I would prefer not to install more software if there is a way to configure word to do what I want. What's the best method? |

The method I often use is to use Windows Explorer. With Explorer, you can
select the files you want to print and then go to File, Print, Voila!! Everything is printed automatically using whatever application is required to open those files. You can continue doing something else on your computer assuming it has adequate resources like memory, processor speed etc etc. hth 123Jim wrote: Hi all, What is the preferred way to batch print a number of word documents?

The time this process takes might be shortened if I was sending print jobs to a physically connected printer, but I am sending the batch print job through a wireless LAN. However, I just need the word print jobs to be sent with no interruptions from the MSWord GUI. |
