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.
