Print Current Page Doesn't Work

[drelias]

We are using Word 2003. When our users try to print current page, the last
page of the document prints. The only way to print the current page is to
actually type in the page number. How can we fix this? Thanks

Do they scroll to the page they want, and put the cursor in it?

 

[drelias]

Yes. But what I've just noticed is that when I select File, Print, I'm
automatically taken to my last page. So it makes sense that when I select
current page the last page prints. Why is it moving to the last page of my
document?

It won't do that by default, so there must be a FilePrint macro in effect.
Go to Tools | Macro | Macros and see if there is such a macro listed (don't
look under Word Commands; those don't count).

There is a FilePrint, FilePrintBinding, FilePrintDefault. I checked with a
user who is not having this problem and she has the same macros.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

FilePrintBinding is not a Word command, so it is not relevant here, but the
other two indicate that someone has created macros to intercept the Print
function no matter how invoked and send the insertion point to the end of
the document. The reason for this might be to force Word to repaginate,
ensuring that page numbers (and especially Page X of Y) are correct. I'm not
sure why another user does not have the same problem, however, and I'm
hesitant to suggest that you delete the macros (though that should solve the
problem).

The next line of troubleshooting would be to change the "Macros in" setting
from "All active templates and documents" to each of the other choices
listed in the dropdown (except Word commands) and try to isolate the
location of the macros. If they're in Normal.dot, then you don't have many
options. If they're in the document itself, you could certainly delete them,
and you could consider doing so if they're in the attached template (other
than Normal.dot). But you may find that they are coming from some add-in
that could be temporarily disabled (through Tools | Templates and Add-ins).

What is the content of the FilePrint and FilePrintDefault macros? (Select
Edit from the macro selection dialog - ALT+F8)
A workaround would be to create a PrintPage macro, but that would by-pass
the FilePrint or FilePrintDefault macros and so whatever the importance of
their code, it would be ignored - unless added.

Sub PrintPage()
Application.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage
End Sub
