You can print multiple Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word files without having to open each file and print them separately. You can use the native Microsoft application to print the documents, or you can use My Computer. Some conditions must be met:

• The files must all reside in the same directory.
• You will be using your default printer. To use a different printer, you need to make that printer your default printer. For more information on setting your default printer, see Eureka! document 47013 — Nothing prints - Check and modify the default printer.
• If using the native Microsoft Application ( e.g., Microsoft Word OR Microsoft Excel) to print, the files must be usable in that application. For example, you can only print Excel files using Excel, not Word files.
• If you have large files, you may not be able to print all of them at the same time - you may only be able to print a few at a time, as the Microsoft program cannot handle simultaneous printing of too many large documents.

To print multiple Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word documents, click the method you would like to use and follow the detailed steps:
