PrintRange Object (PowerPoint)
Represents a single range of consecutive slides or pages to be printed.
Remarks
The PrintRange object is a member of the PrintRanges collection. The PrintRanges collection contains all the print ranges that have been defined for the specified presentation.
You can set print ranges in the PrintRanges collection independent of the RangeType setting; these ranges are retained as long as the presentation they're contained in is loaded. The ranges in the PrintRanges collection are applied when the RangeType property is set to ppPrintSlideRange.
Example
Use Ranges(index), where index is the print range index number, to return a single PrintRange object. The following example displays a message that indicates the starting and ending slide numbers for print range one in the active presentation.
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.Ranges
If .Count > 0 Then
With .Item(1)
MsgBox "Print range 1 starts on slide " & .Start & _
" and ends on slide " & .End
End With
End If
End With
Use the Add method to create a PrintRange object and add it to the PrintRanges collection. The following example defines three print ranges that represent slide 1, slides 3 through 5, and slides 8 and 9 in the active presentation and then prints the slides in these ranges.
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintSlideRange
With .Ranges
.ClearAll
.Add 1, 1
.Add 3, 5
.Add 8, 9
End With
End With
