Workaround

To work around this issue, use a Microsoft Office 2010 Custom UI part to customize Backstage View. For example, use the following code to create a new button that is labeled "PrintII" that triggers the FilePrint command. This Custom UI part also hides the Print tab in Backstage.

Note You must have an existing Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) method that is named "FilePrint."


<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
  <backstage>
    <button id="printBtn" label="PrintII" imageMso="PrintAreaMenu" onAction="FilePrint" insertAfterMso="FileSaveAs" />
    <tab idMso="TabPrint" visible="false" />
  </backstage>
</customUI>
