Macro

[dah]

Hi,

I have created a form that will be filled out on the PC and it ha
close to 20 pages. Not all the pages will be utilized depending on th
order. How do I write a macro that will print only the pages tha
actually contain data?

Thanks,
De

I'd suggest to save each of your pages (or logical units) as separate
autotext entries in the template and leaving the body of the template blank,
except header/footer or other persistent information. When a user creates a
new document based on the template, show a userform with check boxes which
pages to include. Then insert the autotext entries into the document
according to made selections.

That sounds like it might work but how exactly would I go about creatin
the separate autotext entries. I currently have each page as a sectio
break and the text on each page is associated with a bookmark.

Thanks,
De

Select the entire section, including section breaks, if you wish.
Click Insert/Autotext/Autotext from menu bar.
Select the rigth template from the look in combo.
Enter a meaningful short name into the text box and click Add.
Then delete the selected text.

Here's an example. Examine the FillDoc macro.
