From: George on
I created a merged document at my home PC with an HP printer as the default.
I saved this document and went to work and could not print it on the Sharp
AL-2040CS. Even though I manually selected the by-pass tray on the printer
and even though I went into the printer set-up and selected the by-pass tray,
it still selects from the bottom tray. A document that I created at work
WILL select from the bypass tray, but the merged document created at home
will not. Are there any embedded codes that must be changed? Or will
re-saving the document at work and then printing make a difference. Thanks.

Every Word document has a setting in Page Setup (Paper tab) that tells the
printer which trays to use for the first page and the rest of the pages. The
setting is a section-level setting, so it could in theory be different for
different sections. In a merged document (Letter type), each letter is a
separate section. You will need to go to Page Setup, select the appropriate
try (or Auto Select) and make sure the settings apply to "Whole Document."
