How to print doc w/ PrintOut plus page range?

[ari]

Hello,

I have a project: print MS word jobs with different page range （not the whole job).

Right now, in AutoIt, I use:

Dim $WordDoc = $WordObj.Documents.Open($file)

$WordDoc.PrintOut

This will print all pages.

Don't know if AutoIt can do like VB does:

Activedocument.Activewindow.PrintOut _

Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="1", To:="3"

Or any other ideas? Please help.

Thanks!

Yes AutoIt can use that COM method syntax, the parameter strings just have to be quoted properly and enclosed in parens. Something like:

$WordDoc.PrintOut('Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="1", To:="3"')

Thank you for the info.

I tried it on AutoIt v3, it's failed.

Any other ideas?

Well, you probably need the actual value of wdPrintFromTo instead of the string variable name:

Global Const $wdPrintAllDocument = 0
Global Const $wdPrintSelection = 1
Global Const $wdPrintCurrentPage = 2
Global Const $wdPrintFromTo = 3
Global Const $wdPrintRangeOfPages = 4

; ... get $WordDoc somehow...

$WordDoc.PrintOut('Range:=' & $wdPrintFromTo & ', From:="1", To:="3"')

Thanks again!, I'll try it.

I have tried.

I can't make PrintOut('') work, instead _WordDocPrint function works well with Ranges.

Thanks
