Print current page directly

I'm transitioning from WordPerfect where I could put a button on the toolbar to print the current page immediately (without going through the print menu). I can't find this in Word - is it available? Otherwise, what's the fastest way to directly print only the current page? Thanks very much.

Word doesn't have such a command because Word docs are not built on pages.

Pagination is imposed by the printer, so while you're working in the doc
Word really doesn't know where a "page" starts or ends with regard to the
flow of text... Even though the UI is expressly designed to suggest
otherwise If you want to print the page you're viewing key Command+P,
select "Current page", press return. The process may be scriptable using
Apple Script, but even so I don't believe it could be executed by a toolbar
button - perhaps a keyboard shortcut could be assigned.

Thanks very much, CyberTaz. I sure liked that one-click to print the current page, but unless someone else can figure out the keyboard shortcut for me, I'll have to learn to live with the limitation.
