PrintRanges Object (PowerPoint)
A collection of all the PrintRange objects in the specified presentation. Each PrintRange object represents a range of consecutive slides or pages to be printed.
Example
Use the Ranges property to return the PrintRanges collection. The following example clears all previously defined print ranges from the collection for the active presentation.
ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.Ranges.ClearAll
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
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
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
