Select Print Button
Hello,
I have a 17 page checklist. When the user fills out the section they need they have to printi out. They may use section G on page 5 and then print out only page 5. I wanted to place a command button at the top of each page so no matter what section and page they are on they can click the button to bring up the print select menu. I know how to place the button on the form but how to I get it to bring up the print select menu? Thanks!! |

Ok, I figured it out by doing a macro. However, how do I fix it so the print
button doesn't print on the page? Thanks!! "Stockwell43" wrote: Hello, I have a 17 page checklist. When the user fills out the section they need they have to printi out.

Use a custom toolbar in the document template to contain the button.
Toolbars don't print. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stockwell43 wrote: Ok, I figured it out by doing a macro.

Select Print Button
Hi Suzanne,
I tried that code before and it does hid the button but it prints the whole document. I have a macro so that it prints only the current page and place a button on all the pages which is great. I just need to hide the button from printing. But again, I found this code and when I place it in my macro, it prints the whole document overriding my macro. Is there any other way to get around this? Thanks!! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...rintButton.htm -- Suzanne S.

Presumably you need slightly different code. I don't see anything in the
code given in that article that says anything about printing at all, so I'm at a loss (especially since I'm not a coder). If you don't get further help here, perhaps it will come from one of the Word VBA NGs. I'll cross-post to microsoft.public.word.vba.general and hope for help from there. -- Suzanne S.
