I'm trying to add a "Print" command button to a user form in VBA (Word) that
prints the entire form. When I click "Print" (object.printform) I only get
the visible part of the form, instead of the entire form. How can I get the
WHOLE form printed when I use .PrintForm?

Did you look in Help?

"PrintForm prints all visible objects and bitmaps of the UserForm object. "

The key word is visible.

If it is not visible...it is not printed.

That is not really the way in which userforms are intended to be used. If
you want a screen shot of the entire form for the purpose of creating
instructions on how to use it, use Snagit available form www.techsmith.com,
It can capture a scrolling window

Hope this helps.
