Create non-printing pages in a word doc?
I have a 2-page document which will be used by other people. Is there a way
to set it up so that by default page one will never print? I know how to use the print dialog to print current page, or print a range of pages, but can't come up with a way to imbed the command in the document itself so that only page 2 ever prints no matter who prints it. |

Create non-printing pages in a word doc?
I started to write a reply about intercepting the Print request (using a Sub
FilePrint) - which could go some way towards it - but the more I thought about it the more I realised that the most likely impact of anything you did would be total confusion. Are you trying for security purposes (in which case you are probably wasting your time) or paper-saving ones? -- Enjoy, Tony "janice" wrote in message ...

A quick, easy way to print text on one page and not on another is to set the
print that you want not to print as hidden text. If the users options are set to view hidden text (Tools Options View tab, and then under Formatting marks select Hidden Text), they can view and edit hidden text, but it doesn't print. If you want only the first page to print, you can set the first line of the hidden text to begin on the next page (Format Paragraph Line and Page Breaks tab, and then select Page break before). I hope this helps.

The doc will be printed from a forms folder on our intranet, and not a
security issue - we're just looking for an automatic fix to save half the paper...

Create non-printing pages in a word doc?
Hi Kimmie, this is good info, and I was able to get the text on page one not
to print, but the blank page itself still came off the printer - what we're looking for is a way to reduce paper consumption... any other ideas?

Ah, if your nonprinting text comes first, get rid of that Page-break-before
formating on the first paragraph that you want to print. Look at the paragraph formatting for the first line that actually prints. (Format Paragraph, and then on the Line and Page Breaks tab, make sure that Page break before is deselected). Let me know if that works for you.

Create non-printing pages in a word doc?
Ah-hah! Yes - the first page - instuctions including a logo, call-outs etc,
all took the "hidden" formatting - to my amazement - and when I hit my print button only page two - the actual form- came off the printer. I even tried it with Tools - Options - View - Hidden Text checked AND unchecked, and both ways I was able to see both pages and print only the second. Feeling oh so victorious, I took it to the form's author, and when she tried to set it up with the hidden text, it all disappeared! That's when I realized that on my system, I have Tools - Options - View - ALL checked - which is NOT the standard setting for the literally hundreds of people who will be required to use the form, and changing the setting on everyone's PC doesn't seem to be an option. RATS!! Thank you so much for your help - guess we'll be burning paper after all...

Hi janice,
With code in the document (or its template if relevant) as follows, you can set to print only page 2 by default. Private Sub FilePrint() Call PrintPage2 End Sub Private Sub FilePrintDefault() Call PrintPage2 End Sub Private Sub PrintPage2() With Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint) .Range = 4 .Pages = "p2" .Show End With End Sub -- Enjoy, Tony "janice" wrote in message news The doc will be printed from a forms folder on our intranet, and not a security issue - we're just looking for an automatic fix to save half the paper...

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your response - must confess I had given up. Next question - how do I embed this code in the document? Sorry, but we seem to be way beyond my realm of expertise now.... I did try simplistically pasting the code in at the top of the doc - and tried finding steps in Help... no luck... Thanks for your help!

This article (appropriately named!) helped me understand what I'm doing. I
was able to follow the instructions - even put the macro in a module of its own in VB Editor. However, when I print, I still get both pages, and when I go to ToolsMacroMacros, I don't see it in the list box. I do see it in the Organizer, and as part of the project in VB Editor. What next?

Tony's fingers slipped :-) when he wrote "Private" at the beginning of the
first two of the three procedures. Only PrintPage2 should say "Private". The FilePrint and FilePrintDefault procedures should say "Public" instead, or just omit the "Private" because "Public" is assumed if there's no modifier there. -- 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. janice wrote: This article (appropriately named!) helped me understand what I'm doing.
