Contents Page

[Guest]

I have a large multiple tab workbook where each tab may contain 1 or more
pages when printed out.
Each tab is essentially a new heading
I want to create a table of contents which automatically detects how many
pages are in each tab and can therefore adjust the table of contents
accordingly.
Don't mind using a macro as I see this as the only way to go.

I was thinking along the lines of;

Sub Create_Table_of_Contents

FOR Contents_Line = 1 to Last_Tab_in_Workbook
Contents_Line_1 = Tab_1_Name
Contents_Line_1_Page_Num = 1
Contents_Line_2 = Tab_2_Name
Contents_Line_2 = Count_of_Pages_in_Tab_1 + 1
etc.
etc.
Next

Most of this I can handle, but how can you tell how many pages are in a tab
in print preview format?

Rich,

My free Excel add-in "Excel Extras" can create a Table of Contents with
each sheet name linked to the sheet.
It also displays the number of printable pages.
You can download it here...

To determine the number of printable pages, you can use a single line of
XL4 macro code, or several lines of VBA code.
John Walkenbach shows how here...
