Does anyone have a simple method to print out code modules and have the results look like compilations of old, i.e., each module starts on a new page, etc. I wrote a postprocessor for Word that does most of what I want, but there must be an easier way.
thanks
Not sure if this's what you're after (it's a mod from a very-much WIP)

For Each Component In OpenBook.VBProject.VBComponents
With [A3]
.Value = " " & Component.Name & " Code Module"
With .Font
.Size = 9
.Bold = True
.Underline = True
.ColorIndex = 11

End With

For N = 1 To .CountOfLines
If .Lines(N, 1) = Empty Then
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = "'"
Else
'put space before and after codeline (this is needed)
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = " " & .Lines(N, 1) & " "

Why pay when you can do it for nothing?
