You ought to be able to do this just by recording the macro, and
duplicating the steps you'd do normally.  Have you tried this and it
didn't work for you?

Also remember that if you're using template-like documents, you can
create paper size/type definitions that are the same except for the
paper tray (call one Letter, and the other Bottom Tray, or whatever). 
Once the code for that definition is in the document, it'll stay there,
and the tray switch will be automatic whenever you use that document.

It certainly is possible. I do it all the time. Just use the standard 
"bin" commands which can be found in the macro command inserter under 
"paper size" (I believe). In lieu of that, check your macro command 
index in macro help. 

Hello,
thanks for the tip, but this doesn't work, because you can only record
the keystrokes untill the print-menu, not untill the choice of the
trays. So I presume you have to write the macro, but I don't know how.

Johan.

That's not the way you should do it.  Choose Format, Page, Paper Size
(the last command may not be the exact name, but you get the idea). 
There, you can define other paper sizes and sources, indicating their
bins.

You may want to read up on this method in whatever WordPerfect books or
manuals you have, if it's unfamiliar to you.
