Powerpoint vba to print ONLY the comments!!!

[chris italy]

Hi, I am now trying to print out just the comments from a page - ie look at a screen advertising a zoo, click an icon to print out the address and opening times...

I am trying

Sub PrintPresentationComments()
With ActivePresentation
    .PrintOptions.OutputType = ppPrintOutputNotesPages
    .PrintOut
End With
End Sub

or

With Application.ActivePresentation
    With .PrintOptions
        .PrintHiddenSlides = False
        .FitToPage = True
        .PrintComments = True
        .FrameSlides = False
        .PrintInBackground = False
    End With
    .ppPrintOutputNotesPages
End With
End Sub

but both of these print the slide aswell.

Am I missing something that should be set to false so just the comments are printed on their own?

As a side thought, it would be handy if i can print a graphic logo on the header of the notes...does this men i should perhaps abandon the notes idea and create a second page with the graphic and the info, then print that entire slide instead????

thanks lots
chris

Hi, thanks for this - i have checked this already and i think it has more user-input than i can allow....in fact i can only allow a single click. This is to run on a touch screen kiosk.

I have opted, i think, for a print screen method, but print next screen rather than current so i can totally control content.

The only downside is that if this exists 10 times in a 100 page show, i can not see a way of writing a single macro to 'print next page', so it looks like i will need a separate macro for each instance and hard code the page number i need to print. Also this means that if i add a page anywhere, all print macros after that page must be amended....

If anyone knows how to 'print next slide' i would be grateful to hear it!

Easy concepts.....pig difficult realisations! life hey....
