we have been using this peice of code for years for our printer macros within
word and now we need to add something too it for paper type as its defaulting
to normal and it needs to be thick1 or bond

below is the code i am currently using

sub
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
.FirstPageTray = wdPrinterUpperBin
.OtherPagesTray = wdPrinterMiddleBin
End With
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
End Sub

how do i tell it what type of paper is in each tray as our Letter head paper
has now gone up to 120grams and we need to have the printer set to thick1 so
it doesnt jam up so i need to set the macro's correctly otherwise the printer
stops and asks you to manually select the tray.

thanks in advance
Simon
