Suppress Printing of Page(s) Regularly

[lady_mcse]

Environment is Word 2007.

I've created a form document that is one page. It may be printed by many
people from different departments. Most of the people who need to print it
will only want that one page. But I have in mind some additional text that
I'd like to include as a Page 2 that only one department needs.

So if I add that second page, then 90% of the time people would be wanting
to Print Page 1 of 2. This can certainly be done easily enough, but I can
pretty much guarantee that everyoen wh opens it is going to hit the default
print button and not go to the trouble of pulling up the Print options to set
it to page 1 of 1.

Keeping the environment in mind, for now I have split the document into two
separate files, so that doc1 is for 90% of the people, and doc2 is "page 2."
All for the explicit reason of not wasting trees.

Is there a way to set the document so that by default it will only print
page 1? I suppose I could probably create a macro, but anything out of the
ordinary other than just opening the file and hitting the print button is
likely to be disliked\ignored.

As you wrote, you could create a macro, but keeping two separate files may
actually be the most efficient solution in this case. Only those who
actually need that other page (= document) will have access to it.
