I work in editing and frequently need to print the current page that I am
working on in Word. I would like to create a shortcut to only print the
current page. There is an option to do this in the print box, but a shortcut
would be nice. The print box also always defaults to printing the whole
document, requiring input before it only prints the current page. I suppose
that simply changing this default would be close enough of a solution for me,
but I have been unable to do this either.

Unfortunately, the only way to do this is with a macro. The following macro
has been provided previously in various NGs:

Sub PrintCurrentPage()
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage
End Sub

For information on installing it, see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Once it is installed, you can assign it to a toolbar, menu, or shortcut key.

You can create a macro to which you can assign a shortcut key.
