Hi Rohrscheib,

I suspect what you're describing is due to your Word document having a 'different first page' setup, which directs it to the letterhead tray regardless of the printer options. As Excel doesn't have a 'different first page' setup option, the issue doesn't arise there. If your Word document doesn't have a 'different first page' setup, you could try repairing the Word installation (Word Options|Resources|Diagnose) or reinstalling the printer driver - check for an updated one from the printer manufacturer's web site.
