Periodically you may be working with multiple documents on the screen at the same time, and you want to print them all. It can be cumbersome, at best, to manually switch between documents and then choosing to print each one. The following macro allows you to print all open documents:
Sub PrintAllDocuments ' Step through the open document windows For Each Doc In Documents Doc.PrintOut Next Doc End Sub
This macro prints the documents to the default printer.
