I am trying to capture Ctrl-P and the Print-button to redirect.

I have searched and found the following macro:

ThisDocument section:
Option Explicit


Public Sub AutoExec()


Register_Event_Handler
End Sub

Module1:
Option Explicit
Dim X As New EventClassModule

Sub Register_Event_Handler()
Set X.WordAppEvents = Word.Application
End Sub

EventClassModule:
Option Explicit

Public WithEvents WordAppEvents As Word.Application

Private Sub WordAppEvents_DocumentBeforePrint(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
' Run code directly inside this Sub OR
MsgBox "Before Print"
' Call another Sub here, note, Sub and Module name can't match
Cancel = False

End Sub
*************************************
The template, in which this macro is, is loaded automatically when starting Word. When I try to print, I would expect the messagebox, but this is not shown.

When I modify the EventClassModule:

Private Sub WordAppEvents_DocumentBeforePrint(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As Boolean)

to

Private Sub WordAppEvents__DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

The popup is shown.

It seems DocumentBeforePrint has a problem. I am using Word version 2101 (build 13628.20380 Click-and-Run)

Anyone who can help me get this working?

Thanks in advance for your response.

The code I use for the BeforePrint event is an old Word MVP code detailed at
Intercepting events like Save and Print and
Writing application event procedures
While this code has been around since Word 2000, it is still valid today and works in the same Word version that you are using.
Note that it doesn't fire until you click 'Print' on the File Print dialog

Message retracted. Code works for before print, changed implementation. Sorry.

The code in Graham's link still works. If it didn't work for you, the problem was with your implementation, not the code.

I found that for the code to work each time it's changes or another event monitor is included, it is necessary to close and reopen Word.

You don't have to reopen Word, you can simply manually run the AutoExec macro again.
