Printing specific section

dfinch · #1 06-03-2011, 07:09 AM

Hello is there a way for a script to print a specific (ideally the current) section in Word. I am hoping to have a button or link in each section that would allow a user to print just that section instead of the whole documet. Googling this topic has not returned anything concrete so I am wondering if someone can help here. Unfortunatly this has to be in Word 2000. Failing that I am thinking I can print the page ranges, however this is not ideal because of the upkeep when the document is updated. Any help or pointers would be greatfully recieved. Thanks,

Derek

Hi Derek,

You could do that with a macro like:

Code:

Sub PrintMe()
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Selection.Range
Rng.Sections(1).Range.Select
Application.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintSelection
Rng.Select
End Sub

Note: The above code sends the selected Section direct to the printer without invoking the Print dialogue box.

Hi macropod, thank you very much for your reply, that is exactly what I was after... its curious that the print option in word has "selection", "all", "current page" and "range" as options but there is no "current section"! I have also added a MsgBox to confirm if the user wishes to print the current section in order to prevent accidental prints!

Thanks again, Derek
