Question

Does somebody know a way to get the option 'print in color' more quickly in MS Word?

My organisation resets the defaults for printing in black and white. Or in any case: every new day I log in the office, the settings are back to black and white. And I like it that wat. But sometimes I have to print in color, and I wonder whether there is a more easy way to get to print it in color then I do now.

The process I follow now is the following:

I click on 'Print Preview and Print' (which is the equivalent op pressing CTRL+P)

I go to 'Printer Properties',
I go to the tab 'Color'
I select 'Colors'
I select 'OK'
I select 'Print'.

For eample: is there a way to get a shortcut in the Print screen (where yopu get by pressing CTRL+P)where to select for 'Print in colors'? For example there are already shortcuts for how may pages per sheet, etc.

Is there some way to get a shortcut there regarding color?

Create a toolbar macro that automates that action, and then assign it to a new button on the toolbar. Full instructions on the creation of macros within word is available here. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-or-run-a-macro-c6b99036-905c-49a6-818a-dfb98b7c3c9c

A macro automates lengthy tasks and makes them a toolbar button, or even a keyboard shortcut.
