No, I need to collate the docs which means having the printer properties box open. So this doesn't help. BTW, the Master Documents won't work with multiple tabled pages eiether.

Bullshit. This does not work using Vista/Office 2007 all I get is “a dialog box is open” message 50 times, then a “save as” xps file message 50 times and nothing prints. MS Help is standard crap and does not address. I have to do each file one at a time. Cannot select from explorer, as the same thing happens. If this is operator error, someone please enlighten me. If this is a function of vista and word, then Word sucks. Use Adobe.

The original recipe works well.

For example, I just selected several items on my desktop, right clicked on one, and then selected print. It worked for txt, doc, and html files. I didn’t try excel.

I wanted to clarify lawman’s comment, which helped me today. The option he is talking about is in the File->Open dialog. That dialog contains a Tools menu with a Print option. Don’t look for Print in Tools on the main menu, like I did!

I was able to print multiple documents today from Word 2003 on Windows XP by selecting them in the File->Open dialog and picking Print from the right-click menu. I got the warning mentioned by “Guest” 18 times, but each of the documents did print.

Word needs a way to have a master document that includes/refers to other documents. They have the master document concept, but it only works if you start with it from scratch.

When you are speaking of the option FILE-OPEN DIALOG, is that available when you open Word 2003? When I go to FILE, there is no option for OPEN DIALOG. What if I wanted to print a variety of file types like, PDF, Word, and Excel? Please advise.

I had the issue of not being able to print when right clicking on files in Windows Explorer. When selecting to print, nothing would happen if mulitple files were selected; no error, nothing.

I took the advise of a “Guest” and went to the website on right click responses, downloaded ShellExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) and figured out it was a bad context menu from installing WS Ftp. Once that was disabled, the printing worked fine.

Thanks for all your help!

I was able to print more than one file using the context menu print, but now I am only able to print one file at a time or it doesn’t work any ideas would be great.

I have that same problem where nothng happens if I want to print multiple files either from Word or Windows Explorer. I’m using Windows XP and Word 2002. I have a few machine with that exact same problem.

You could have a context menu handler problem. See this http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm for how to correct it.
