Print Current Page does not work
Hello,
I have a mail merge document that is about 6,000 pages long. Within each page there are about 5 sections. So when you get just a few hundred pages into the document section numbers and whatnot are not even displayed. I would simply just like to print the current page I have up of these 6,000 pages. I would preferably like a macro to do this (i have seen a bunch on here and tried them all but they always send my entire document as a print job). Since I was getting nowhere with this, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to use a macro to copy and paste the current page to a new document and just simply print that new document. But since i have so many different sections and my margins on the mail merged document are not the same as that of the new document, those settings are not preserved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...gdocs/200512/1 |

I'm sure there are clever ways through VBA to print such a document. OTOH, I think it's a burden to start with this document in the first place: why not just merge to new document (or printer directly) with a couple (say, 100) records at a time, preferably through VBA?

Print Current Page does not work
You're right. MailMerge documents are almost impossible to deal with for
selective printing. I'd go with RMF's answer: whatever your task, a 6000 page mailmerge document is surely a poor solution. Rather than writing a macro to try to print individual pages, why not write the macro to *create* the individual pages you want? That's a much easier coding task, and would be a heap faster to run.
