set default to print first page only
Client creates many different 2 page documents but they only need to print
the first page. Is there any way to set the default so it will only print the first page. Apparently going into the print menu and changing the option to print only page 1 is too much work . A macro might work but there are several different users on different PCs involved. Any suggestions? -- maryj |

You can certainly have a macro to print just the first page. Alternatively,
you can have a macro to print the current page (I couldn't do without that one), which would be the first page when the document is first opened. Either macro can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...buteMacros.htm -- Suzanne S.

Any suggestions? Have them Customize to put "Print Current Page". One click and they're done. Or use a script to do the same. The first page is always the current page when a document is opened. |

Could you explain what you mean by "Customize to put "Print Current Page".
"? Are you referring to first creating a macro and then adding a toolbar button or something else? -- "Pop`" wrote: harriettbird wrote: Client creates many different 2 page documents but they only need to print the first page.

Yes. The following macro will print the current page:
Sub PrintCurrentPage() ' ' PrintCurrentPage Macro ' Macro recorded November 30, 2002 by Suzanne S. Barnhill ' Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage, Item:= _ wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ ManualDuplexPrint:=False, Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:= _ False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 End Sub It's a recorded macro, so it's full of junk, and I'm sure one of our VBA experts can give you a much more elegant one, but it works fine, which should be an encouragement to you: you can record the exact same macro (or a macro to print page 1, for that matter) the same way I did and get something that works fine!

The following macros will print the current page and the first page
respectively to the active printer. Sub PrintCurrentPage() Application.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage End Sub Sub PrintPage1() Application.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Pages:="1" End Sub See 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 harriettbird wrote: Could you explain what you mean by "Customize to put "Print Current Page".
