Value out of range 4608 when printing Word 2002 document SandyH 12/23/2008 4:50:07 PM I wonder if someone could help me with a problem some of our users are experiencing in Word? We have a macro that sits in Word which they can use to print off documents. The macro selects the appropriate bins depending on what they are printing out e.g. if its a letter, it will print the first page on letterhead and the other pages on thick paper. The macro works beautifully until they try and print a document that comes from outside the office. When they hit the custom print a vba error appears saying value out of range 4608. Everything I have read mentions section breaks and this is what can cause the error. Some of the section breaks could be turned into page breaks, however, other section breaks need to remain because of the way the documents are put together. I have come across a solution which mentions turning on the Document Grid but it appears to get this tab you need to switch on Korean, Chinese or Japanese from the Language Settings and this isn't something that we can do. Is there another way of bringing up this tab? On my own pc which isn't within the citrix environment that the users are in I activated this tab and ran the code that the author suggested of Active.Document.PageSetup.LinesPage = 38 and after I had done that and then ran the macro again the document printed out ok, but we can't switch on the language settings the author suggests. Can anyone help?

But, since you do have a macro, perhaps it should interrogate one of Word's inbuilt document properties (eg the company name) to determine whether your print customisations should run or the document should be printed on plain paper. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "SandyH" <SandyH[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0196B1AD-B4E0-45EA-B580-F464C82D2C0A[ at ]microsoft.com...

Can anyone help? I don't know what your macro is doing but what you describe sounds like a strange workaround. The suggestion is to set the document to 38 lines per page. All that does is change the document pagination. I suspect you'll encounter the error on other documents down the road. Additionally you don't need the options to be visible in the Word interface in order to run code that uses a foreign language option so that indicates something else might be wrong. Why not post the code you are using in one of the Word VBA groups and see if the code can be refined so you don't need to add Asian language options? If all else fails you could always add an error handler, trap for error number 4608, and run whatever code needs to be ran from there. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102295841033.aspx
