Custom printing?

[Mike S]

I've developed a form where employees enter several items (think inventory). One of the fields contains a drop down box where the items are placed into one of several groups. Is there a way to make the form highlight and custom print copies based on those groups?

For instance; Let's say the completed form has 2 items in group A, 1 in group B, and 4 in group C. Is it possible to run a maco, etc. where the form would automatically print a copy for groups a, b, c with those items in the groups highlighted (or the others greyed out). I'd like to see one master form printed, one form w/ group A highlighted, one with group B, etc...


The second half of this question pertains to e-mails and checkboxes. Can the form automatically send an e-mail to designated parties if certain check boxes are checked?

Assuming that you are working with Microsoft Excel 2010, you might want to check out online tutorials instead. What you want to do seems to be a bit advanced and you won't find the answers in basic excel trainings, so try taking a step upwards and see where you go.

Hi printchesco,

Why would you assume Excel is involved? The thread is in a Word forum and Excel hasn't even been mentioned.
