How can I print different sections of the one Word document to two
different printers? e.g. section 1 to b & w printer and section 2 to
the colour printer. I have only been able to figure out how to print
to different trays on the same printer which doesn't help me!!! Thanks

You'll need a macro. [URL="http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm"]http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm[/URL] demonstrates
how to switch printers and trays you need to add the extra code to print the
sections - something like

Dim sPrinter As String
sPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = "Printer name 1"
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="s1"
ActivePrinter = "Printer name 2"
Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="s2"
ActivePrinter = sPrinter
