WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Microsoft provides this macro code "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

The following macro will change the default number of copies to print to 3. You must name the macro "FilePrint" because it replaces the Word command FilePrint. 

Sub MAIN
on error goto out Dim dlg As FilePrint GetCurValues dlg dlg.NumCopies = 3 Dialog dlg FilePrint dlg out: 
End Sub
You can specify a number other than 3 on the following line 

   dlg.numcopies = x
where "x" should be replaced with the desired number of copies.
