Hi,

I have an Excel macro which opens, edits then prints a number of word docs. My problem is that they print in black and white. I can't mess about with default print settings as this will be used by other people, it needs to print in colour regardless of their defaults.

How do I tell Excel to do this?

Code:
objdoc.PrintOut (In Colour)

I hope someone can help. Seems like such a simple thing.


Edit - I've tried recording a Word macro, where I'll print and change to colour. I get this...

Code:
    Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _        wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        ManualDuplexPrint:=False, Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:= _
        False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _
        PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0

Which seems to give me every possible option other than colour. What's the score here?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
