MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2006Automatically 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 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/Formatting/PrintMultipleSections.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. >I want to create a document which displays small amounts of information on >each page, navigated by hyperlinks.

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. >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 [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >> > >> >Rich Sounds like you may want to look into software for creating PDFs from your docs?
