Help - Disable Printing

[v***@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am writing a COM Add-in for Word 2000.

I assume the code below should disable printing,

Private Sub App_DocumentBeforePrint(ByVal Doc As Word.Document, ByRef
Cancel As Boolean) Handles App.DocumentBeforePrint
MsgBox("Printing is disabled")
Cancel = True
End Sub

But I can see the message saying "Printing is disabled" but the print
command carries on and the document is printed. I have seen most of the
earlier postings but no one seem to have such a problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Venu Gopal

Your routine runs BEFORE the print, it does not DO the print.

Sub FilePrint()
MsgBox "Printing has been disabled."
End Sub

In Addition to Steve's response, you will also need a macro
FilePrintDefault() to trap the user's use of the print button on the
toolbar. You may also want to have one FilePrintPreview() as well.
