There are two parts to this:
First, you need to create a macro to print the required part of the
document. This should be easy. Add a bookmark for the start of the required
section. All your macro need do is go to the bookmark, select to the end of
document, then print selection. This is a rare case where a recorded macro
would suffice.
Second, you need to give people a way to run it. Simplest is to right click
any toolbar, select customize, select macros, drag your macro to the toolbar
of your choice.
That said, I'd have to advise against it. You will spend much more time
trying to get people to use the macro and supporting its operation than the
saving will justify. You'll also get the blame for everything that goes
wrong with users' Word usage, and/or end up as the company's Word help desk.

How do you create a command button in a Word document to assign it to
print a certain section or table? More detailed: I send out an daily e-mail
and some people print my e-mail off, but it goes into two pages because of
the e-mail header and cuts the document in half. Mostly everyone printing
this e-mail are not "computer smart" and don't know to highlight the printed
section to just print that section. Thus for the reason I want to include a
command button for them to click and print a designated area.
