    Printing issue

    I have sheet1 with all my data A1:D1, sheet2 is a form filled out based on the data from sheet1 and printed. I need to setup a script so if i have 50 rows of data it will print 50 pages(forms) with the correct data.

    The data in sheet1 is organized, but the cells in sheet2 are not.


    sheet2 A5= sheet1 A1
    sheet2 C7= sheet1 D1

    and so on, I can make the links easy if it was always one page a day.
    but it can range from 25-50 pages a day.

    thanks for any help.

    Hi,

    easiest for you would probably be the Mail Merge, use the 'Letters' option and feed in the required number of rows.

    see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm

    that's ok - all is not lost, you just need a small macro that starts the print (ie, I presume that you have a print layouot already set), and just feed that with the row numbers and let it print.

    To get a macro, Tools, Macro, Record New Macro, select your row, then go through the print moves, then select your next row.
    Stop recording and post the code here with the request that someone add a 'Do' loop to go from row ~ to row ~~ (row numbers in A1 & B1 etc?)
