Examples

The following code example uses the PrintOutEx method to print two collated copies of the first two pages of the worksheet to the default printer. To run this code example, your workbook must contain a worksheet named Sheet1 with some data.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub PrintWorksheet()
    Dim mySheet As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.WorksheetBase = Globals.Sheet1

    mySheet.PrintOutEx( _
        From:=1, _
        To:=2, _
        Copies:=2, _
        Preview:=False, _
        Collate:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=True)
End Sub

private void PrintWorksheet()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Worksheet mySheet = Globals.Sheet1.Base;

    mySheet.PrintOutEx(
        1,
        2,
        2,
        false,
        missing,
        false,
        true,
        missing,
        true);
