Printing a word document partially in Black and White and partially in color

**glide2131** · 07-10-2014, 03:25 PM

So I have a template that I need to mail merge into many separate documents and to save on cost I want to only print the first 6 pages in color and all the rest I want to print in Black and White.
I would like to avoid having to create 2 different print jobs for each document. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this.
Thanks,

The only 1-document solution using the same printer for both parts of the document is to format b/w part of the document as b/w (i.e. don't use colour in it).

An alternative 1-document solution would be to use a colour printer for the colour part of the document and a b/w printer for the remainder.

Ok, that was what I was thinking. Is there a way to format the page so that anything that is copied and pasted will end up black and white?

You can select the range and change the font colour to automatic, or black. This won't affect any graphics, though. For those, you can select each image and use Word's picture tools to change it to grayscale.
