searching for and printing a few pages in large docs

[steve]

I have a large text file, 100+ pages. Out of this text
file I need 5 pages. The order of the pages are different
every time (one day I may need pages 14, 20, 30,31,32.
The next day I may need 6, 50, 63, 74, 75). In the past
my company has printed the whole document, sorted through
the pages, kept what they wanted and discarded the rest.

This process of printing all of it takes too long not to
mention the waste of the paper. I have tried importing it
into excel and using VBA to delete what I did not want.
but Im having trouble getting the formatting to look good
for the final printed pages, Becase Some of the pages are
formated in paragrafs while others are formated in tables
and still others are in lists.

I was wondering if using VBA I could open the document in
And do a search for the pages I wanted then print just
those pages?

The key question is how will you identidy the text you want to print. Once
you can unabiguously describe that, then the rest will be easy.

the frase is the same each time and only occor once in
the doc for ease of typing all of the frases out just
youse "my text"
