Well, you should be able to use a macro that formats header and footer
contents as hidden, prints the document, and then clears the formatting
again. The following is a simple version:
Sub PrintDocWithoutHeaderFooter()
Dim s As Section
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Font.Hidd en = True
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = True
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = True
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Font.Hidd en = True
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Font.Hidd en = True
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = True
Next s
Options.PrintHiddenText = False
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Font.Hidd en = False
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = False
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = False
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Font.Hidd en = False
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Font.Hidd en = False
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Hidden = False
Next s
End Sub
For instructions on how to attach the macro to a toolbar button (or to a
button on the QAT in Word 2007), see

Thanks Stefan! Worked a treat! Simple solution. Is there another way where
you can just select a box etc to not print the the header and footer. This
will make it a lot easier for staff who have to print it.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hiya
I have been looking all over the internet for the answer but have had
no
look.
We currently have a business letter head which we use for quotes etc...
The
quotes are sent out by email electronically with the heaer and footer
included. However, we print onto headed paper and would like the option
to
print without including the header and footer. Is there an option which
i
can
select in word to do this or is it a case of changing the code
somewhere.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards
Lee
