    VBA format macro error: 'Unable to set leftfooter property of the pagesetup class'

    Hey all, I recorded a macro that simply should format the document in a certain way. However, whenever I run it, I get an error message 'Unable to set leftfooter property of the pagesetup class." When I delete that line, it just gives the same error to another line. Any ideas why this might be? Code:

    Code:
    Sub Firmat()
    '
    ' Firmat Macro
    '
    ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+r
    '
        Application.PrintCommunication = False

        End With

    Re: VBA format macro error: 'Unable to set leftfooter property of the pagesetup class

    You're in the wrong section. PM a mod to move this to VBA. Over here, we deal mostly with VB.NET, which is quite different, and folks are unlikely to know much about this. I certainly don't. However, since the line in question is .LeftMargin, and you say that removing the line simply moves the error to the next line, which happens to be RightMargin, have you made sure that those margin properties exist?
    My usual boring signature: Nothing

    Oh I didn't see a VBA section, thanks. I'll pm a mod

    Yes they exist. It seems to be some sort of thing where the code doesn't recognize that I have a printer installed or something, not quite sure.
