Hello,

I'd like to generate and save different versions of a document with different print areas, e.g. one version where the whole document will be printed and another version where I would select only distinct chapters, subchapters and text/tables to be printed.

Is there an effective way to do this?

Not sure what you mean by effective.

You can mark text as "hidden." If you do it will not print unless you change your print options. This is a font formatting.

The way I would do this is to have one or more modified styles. I would have a Body Text style for text I want always to be printed and a Body Text - Hide style for text that would be hidden in one version but not the other. Then, to print everything, I would modify the Body Text hide style to not be hidden text. You could create macros that switch this setting on and off if there are a number of styles involved.
