What tabs are you referring to?

Hi Greg,

We potential problem-solvers aren't sure if you mean a Tab-character, or the
tabs at the bottom of the drawing window that allow you to switch pages, or
perhaps something else?

The page-switching tabs don't really print, so we're a bit confused what's
going on...

Hi David and Chris,

Apologies for being unclear, I'm trying to find out if the there is away to
stop pages from printing in a Visio file. eg ' If there are three pages in a
file can
Visio print only the pages needed/wanted? '

Adobe distiller allows you to exclude some pages when creating a pdf file and
I'm wondering if there is away in Visio that would allow the same or similar
function when printing files. Hope this sounds better ?

Thanks for help and direction.

Well, you can programmatically make pages invisible
page.PageSheet.Cells("UIVisibility") = 1, but remember to set it back to 0
when you want to see it again.

Or, you can set a single range of pages in the Print dialog

Thanks, David,

So is there away to hide the pages like in Excel. So that other can't see
them?

Yes, as I said. This can only be done in code. For example, open up a
multipage document, then view the page you want to make invisible.

Go to the VBE (ALT+F11), then open the Immediate Window (CTRL+G), type in
Visio.ActivePage.PageSheet.Cells("UIVisibility").Formula = 1

To get it back:
Visio.ActiveDOcument.Pages("MyPage").PageSheet.Cells("UIVisibility").Formula
= 0

Note that I needed to know the name of the page to get it back!
