pause print between pages in Word 2007

[Ray P]

I need to print a document consisting of multiple pages. Each page has to be
printed on a pre-printed form. I want to pause the print process after each
page to allow me to place a new form in the printer and align same. I do not
want to have to go thru the print page number option each time. I would like
to be able to press a key and start the print for the next page as soon as I
have the form in place. Any suggestions would be appreciated

It takes a macro to do that. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
if needed.

Sub PausePerPage()
Dim nPg As Long, totalPgs As Long
Dim rslt As VbMsgBoxResult

totalPgs = ActiveDocument.Range.Information( _
wdActiveEndPageNumber)
nPg = 1

While nPg <= totalPgs
rslt = MsgBox(prompt:="Press OK to print page " & nPg, _
buttons:=vbOKCancel)
If rslt = vbCancel Then Exit Sub

ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False, _
Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, _
Pages:=CStr(nPg)
nPg = nPg + 1
Wend
End Sub

If you have no paper in the printer, you can print only one page. Then add
another form, and another will print. If you set the paper source (on the
Paper tab of Page Setup) to Manual Feed, you will be prompted for each
sheet.
