Title: Setting active printer in MS Word 2004?
Has anyone succeeded in setting active printer in Word 2004?
The dictionary as well as the 2004 AS reference guide published by Microsoft says that the application class has a property "active printer" which is read/write:
active printer Unicode text -- Returns or sets the name of the active printer
But when I try
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set active printer to ("Adobe PDF" as Unicode text)
end tell
or variations thereof it doesn't work. I can however get the active printer, but whitepace characters (and maybe other characters too? ) are replaced so that
Adobe PDF = AdobePDF
Marknad HP 4000 = Marknad_HP_4000"
I have of course tried using these to set the active printer, but with equal lack of success. So, if anyone has a better suggestion I would appreciate it greatly
/ Richard
