How can I add a button to a document that causes several microsoft word
documents to print when the button is clicked? Is this even possible?

By what criteria are the documents to print chosen?

If you want to add a button to a form, open the Control Toolbox toolbar (View

> Toolbars > Control Toolbox) and choose the Button control, then draw it on

your document.

If you want to add code to the button, double click on the button and the
VBE will open.

The code is up to you. For instance to print documents doc1.doc and
doc2.doc the code would be:

Application.PrintOut FileName:="c:\temp\doc1.doc"
Application.PrintOut FileName:="c:\temp\doc2.doc"

Obviously you can get a lot fancier in terms of what to print where but that
should get you started...
