The following example prints all open documents one after another to the default printer. Sub PrintAll Dim aDoc as Document For Each aDoc In Documents aDoc.PrintOut Next End Sub You may want to close each document after printing; however, the updating of certain field codes in the process of repagination will modify the document causing Word to prompt you to save the document. To automate the closing of documents without the save changes message, add the SaveChanges argument to Line 3 as shown:

Method 1: Do Not Save Changes at Closing
For Each aDoc In Documents aDoc.PrintOut aDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges Next

Method 2: Save Changes at Closing
For Each aDoc In Documents aDoc.PrintOut aDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges Next
