How do I keep Word from re-setting my default printer?

C

CSJ545

I have 2 laser printers hooked up to my system: 1-color (printer A) and
1-black/white-networked (Printer B). I have Printer B designated as my
Default Printer. However, if I send a couple of print jobs to Printer A,
Word (or MS Office) resets Printer A to be my Default Printer. Any
suggestions?

Great! That sounds like it would work, but I need it explained in "Dummy"
Terms! Where do I go to put in:
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrintSetup)
.Printer = "HP DeskJet 670C Series v11.0 on LPT2:"
.DoNotSetAsSysDefault = True
.Execute
End With
