Hello.

I have created a bunch of forms in word for a project at work. Many of the
forms are 7+ pages long, due to the amount of options I have needed to
include. Some projects that will use the forms do not use all of the options
I have included in the forms. This creates some forms that have multiple
sections/pages without anything selected. Is there a way to, when I go to
print the filled in form, have word skip printing the sections I have not
entered anything in, in order to reduce the number of pages printed, skipping
the sections without anything selected/filled out? Thank you for any help.

you'd need a dose of automation for this. With on-exit macros, you could
keep track sections where you have not left a form field and thus only
print the desired ones.

Best ask in one of the .vba newsgroup if you need help with the
programming side of things.
