Icon in Word for "PRINT CURRENT PAGE" would be most helpful

Guest

I would like to see an icon, or have the ability to drag one from
VIEW/TOOLBARS/CUSTOMIZE, so that I can print the current page without having
to go into the Print Menu. WordPerfect offered this feature and it was very
helpful!

I would vote for this suggestion. For several versions, this feature has
been one of the most frequently requested. You can, however, create a button
or keyboard shortcut to run a very simple macro to print the current page.
This macro (courtesy of Jay Freedman) will do the job:

Public Sub PrintCurrentPage()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
.Range = wdPrintCurrentPage
.PrintToFile = False
.Execute
End With
End Sub
