The following sample macro prints all open documents one after another to your 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 it is printed; however, the updating of certain field codes in the process of repagination modifies 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 using one of these methods.
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
