Automatically print part of a document
I want to create a document which displays small amounts of information on
each page, navigated by hyperlinks. However, I need a section at the end which is a summary of all the information and can be printed without printing all the other stuff. Is there anyway that I can insert a button (or other control) that allows the user to click it and have just this section printed without them manually having to get the page numbers and type them into the Print dialog box? Cheers, Rich |

Automatically print part of a document
If you insert a section break (Insert Break New page) between the
two parts of the document, then you can print the second part by entering s2 in the Pages box of the Print dialog. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...leSections.htm for the full story. -- 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.

Thanks for that but what I wanted was a simple button or similar saying
"Print summary" that another user could click without needing to know abot how to print a given section - they wouldn't know it was in sections or what section number to print.

Automatically print part of a document
Your "simple button" would require a macro, and that just causes more
problems than it solves because of Word's macro security mechanism. To work around that, you'd need to digitally sign the document. That's workable if you're in a corporate environment where you have access to a certificate server, but otherwise it'll cost about US$200/year to buy a certificate from the likes of VeriSign or Thawte. Unfortunately, in the world of Word, very little is simple. -- 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.
