Print certain pages only

I have the following code which works fine:

Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Copies:=2

This prints my 10 page document twice.

I now want to use the pages option to specify only certain pages to print out:

Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Copies:=2, Pages:="2, 6-10"

I was expecting it to print out pages 2 and 6 to 10 twice, i.e. 2,6,7,8,9,10,2,6,7,8,9,10, but instead it just printed all 10 pages twice.

I am using VBA in Word 2010.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

RESOURCES:

From Microsoft Developer Network:

Pages - Optional - Variant - The page numbers and page ranges to be printed, separated by commas. For example, "2, 6-10" prints page 2 and pages 6 through 10

Solution

  • Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages needs to be added along with Pages.

    For example:

    Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Copies:=2, Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Pages:="2,6-10"
