Printing selected pages in a Word document
 

Evening all,

Here's my problem
I'm trying to get a macro going that will only print certain pages of a
document, in this case I want all the pages from 1 to the current page
selected.
I've dimmed "p" as a variant and it has the value of the current page
(say 3 for example).
Then the code goes like this:

With Word <---previously dimmed as word.application

..PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="1", To:="p"

I've also tried p without the quotes, omitting the range variant, p
dimmed as an integer, using Pages:="1-" & p instead of the From, To
thing and other stuff but it ain't working!!! Sure if I make p a
number than that works okay but I need it to be a variable because it's
gonig to be different each time.

Any suggestions, because I'm sure the rainforests aren't going to
appreciate me carrying on with this.

Thanks, Tris

Printing selected pages in a Word document
 

I recorded a macro in MSWord and got this line:

Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="1-3", PageType:= _
wdPrintAllPages, ManualDuplexPrint:=False, Collate:=True, Background:= _
False, PrintToFile:=False, PrintZoomColumn:=0, PrintZoomRow:=0, _
PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0

So maybe your code should look more like:

With Word
.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="1-" & p
end with

I used MSWord 2003.

If this doesn't work, I'd record a macro in Word that does what you want and
compare that with your code.

Printing selected pages in a Word document
 

Thanks for your reply Dave,

That's pretty much the same avenue I went down and I tried the cod
with the Pages:="1-" & p bit in it.

I couldn't get it to do what I wanted it to. On most of the occassion
(i tried a few variations on a theme) the document printed out but i
printed all the pages instead of the few I wanted, i.e. it wasn'
registering the p as a number

There was a difference in what to print, too.

wdPrintRangeOfPages = 4
wdPrintFromTo = 3

But if you're using wdPrintFromTo, I would think I'd try:

word.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:=1, To:=p

Notice that the quotes are gone.
