Restrict page printing
Is there a way to restrict the printing of certain pages in a word document.
I have a form I'm distributing but the last 4 pages are explanations and suggestions. When each teacher completes their form, they need to print it out, however, I don't want them printing the extra pages. |

Restrict page printing
You can't do this without adding macros and if you are distributing a
document that will (should!) provoke a macro warning. Users should be reluctant to run macros in documents. If you are making it available as a template it is an easy matter to intercept the print function and force the printing of individual documents. Given that you have four pages of instructions, an extra line requesting that only the required pages need printing does not seem unreasonable? If you want the macro code for the form template (not normal.dot - or you will never print any document past the chosen page range) then eg Sub FilePrint() Application.PrintOut , Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Pages:="1-3" End Sub will print out pages 1 to 3. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ItsBarbara wrote: Is there a way to restrict the printing of certain pages in a word document.

Yes. Normally you would print "specific" pages. In other words, tell the
printer which pages you DO want to print, and it won't print the others.
