printing only sections of forms with data entered   
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.
