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 -- Tristan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tristan's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=34061 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=557029 |

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 -- Trista ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tristan's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3406 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=55702 |

Printing selected pages in a Word document
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.
