We have some pages that are colour, and some that are b&w. Rather than print
all pages to a colour printer (ink is more expensive) i would like to be able
to pick some pages to automatically go to a colour printer

Record a macro of yourself printing it, Ozzie. These articles may help you:

Is it possible to have a macro automatically recognise colour pages vs non
colour pages?? As a uni student and from my experience in the workplace it
would save alot of time if you could set a default colour printer and a
default b&w printer and have word send colour pages to the colour printer for
printing and b&w pages to the b&w printer for printing.

It is probably possible to use code to find

text for which the font is not formatted as Automatic or black
text that has a red or green squiggly underline indicating a spelling or
grammatical error
a picture (but not if it is black and white or coloured

Signature

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
