I have a problem in your script on line 246 when using the Word UDF together with the Excel UDF.

The problem seems to be the Error handler that is conflicting.

I added a an COM error handler in the script for Excel because the UDF does not have one in it yet.

But than running the 2 UDF in 1 script it gives an error in your UDF line 246.

You can run my example script tp see what is happening.

@ptrex - I would suggest using the Word.au3 error handler for both UDFs. There are functions within Word.au3 that have to register its internal error handler. If it is unable to do so it will give an error, and the function will not continue. Being that you can only have one error handler active at the same time you can either do as suggested above or deregister and register each as they are needed.

I can' t see how I can use your Error handler for both UDF's.

Can you give me an example on how to do so ?

thanks

@ptrex - Just add _WordErrorHandlerRegister() toward the top of your script.

#include <Word.au3>
#include <ExcelCom_UDF.au3>

_WordErrorHandlerRegister()

$oWordApp = _WordCreate()
$oExcel = _ExcelBookNew()

Works great !!

The only thing is, your Error handler writes to the stdout window.

While the usual COM Error give some popup messages.

Does your Error handler write to the CMD box if the scripts are compiled ?

Sorry for the late reply.

It wouldn't be proper for a UDF Library to have popup error messages. If you need this functionality then check the return values the same as you would for any other AutoIt Function.

How can I get the UDF to print from a certain paper tray? Instead of 'Automatically selected', I want it to print from 'Tray 1'.

Thanks,

As far as I can tell this can't be done from Word because it's a printer option rather than a Word option.

@big_daddy

I don' t think you are correct here !!

Windows uses the principle of CASCADING setting.

This means if you launch a print command. Windows will look at the settings saved in the document.

If there are no settings in the doc. it will look at the printing preferrences saved in the users profile.

If there are no settings in the users prefs. than it will use the Default device settings.

Enjoy !!

@ptrex - I know how it works.

I did find something that may work (not tested).

#include <Word.au3>

;WdPaperTray
Const $wdPrinterDefaultBin = 0
Const $wdPrinterUpperBin = 1
Const $wdPrinterOnlyBin = 1
Const $wdPrinterLowerBin = 2
Const $wdPrinterMiddleBin = 3
Const $wdPrinterManualFeed = 4
Const $wdPrinterEnvelopeFeed = 5
Const $wdPrinterManualEnvelopeFeed = 6
Const $wdPrinterAutomaticSheetFeed = 7
Const $wdPrinterTractorFeed = 8
Const $wdPrinterSmallFormatBin = 9
Const $wdPrinterLargeFormatBin = 10
Const $wdPrinterLargeCapacityBin = 11
Const $wdPrinterPaperCassette = 14
Const $wdPrinterFormSource = 15

$oWordApp = _WordCreate (@ScriptDir & "\Test.doc")
$oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection ($oWordApp, 0)
$oDoc.Range.Text = "This is some text to print!"
$oWordApp.Options.DefaultTrayID = $wdPrinterManualFeed
_WordDocPrint($oDoc)
_WordQuit ($oWordApp)

The docs are there, I guess whoever added it forgot to commit it...

Is it just the Word.au3 file from this topic that needs to be put in \Include? I can do that if it is.
