VB Command Button
Do all the buttons do the same thing -- print the entire document? Or do
they have separate functions, like printing the current page? In fact, do they print at all, or do their macros do something else? -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org LW_Greeney wrote: hi jay, have have done what it says, but i have more than one button within all the document, have have 6 pages with buttons on each? does this work for all buttons?

VB Command Button
There is only 1 button that prints, then the rest are just buttons to move
about the document! All buttons are macros going to a different bookmark on the document. I know in excel there is an option called printobject which you can change to failse but i cannot find that in word.

VB Command Button
There is an option labeled "Drawing objects" on the Print tab of the Tools
Options dialog that controls whether Word prints the drawing objects in the document. For this purpose, drawing objects include text boxes as well as pictures, AutoShapes, and other graphics. If the text boxes containing the command buttons are the only drawing objects in the document, you could uncheck that option and print, and none of the text box/command button objects would be printed. To do this automatically, open the macro attached to the button that prints, and put this code between the Sub line and the End Sub line: ' declare a variable Dim bOptPrintDrawings As Boolean ' save the existing option value bOptPrintDrawings = Options.PrintDrawingObjects Options.PrintDrawingObjects = False ' print the document ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False ' restore the option to original value Options.PrintDrawingObjects = bOptPrintDrawings If your document has other drawing objects, then we'll have to do something more complicated. If that's the case, are these six the only text boxes in the document? -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org LW_Greeney wrote: There is only 1 button that prints, then the rest are just buttons to move about the document!

VB Command Button
I have jumped into this thread because I have a similar problem. I have only
one command button which does various things. However, the user will print via the normal means Ctrl P, Print, etc. However, I don't want to print the command button, but do want to print graphics, text boxes, (JPG's, etc).

VB Command Button
Hi Richard,
The solution I'll recommend for you is not the one discussed earlier in this thread. You should instead look at the article http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...tSavePrint.htm, which explains that macros with specific names will execute instead of the built-in commands. You should give your command button a name, and the print-intercepting macros can then hide the button or change its color to white, print the document, and then restore the button's appearance. Actually, a better solution would be to create a custom button on a toolbar in your template, instead of a command button in the document body. That way, you never have to worry about the printing issue. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

VB Command Button
Hi Jay,
Pretty much as I suspected. The first link has helped me out greatly. I did not know how to do this. Thanks. Before you replied, I did resort to a macro from a cutom button on the menu bar. But because the document is being used by work colleagues who will be less familiar with Word, macros and the document, i was worried that they may forget to run the macro so instead there is a big command button where it is needed. Thus I will use your first technique proposed and resort to the less favoured solution of 'hiding' the command button temporarily. Many thanks.
