RangeType Property

Applies To

PrintOptions object, SlideShowSettings object.

Description

PrintOptions object: Returns or sets the type of print range for the presentation. Can be one of the following ppPrintRangeType constants: ppPrintAll, ppPrintCurrent, ppPrintNamedSlideShow, ppPrintSelection, or ppPrintSlideRange. Read/write Long.

SlideShowSettings object: Returns or sets the type of slide show to run. Can be one of the following ppSlideShowRangeType constants: ppShowAll, ppShowNamedSlideShow, or ppShowSlideRange. Read/write Long.

Remarks

To print the slides ranges you've defined in the PrintRanges collection, you must first set the RangeType property to ppPrintSlideRange. Setting RangeType to anything other than ppPrintSlideRange means that the ranges you've defined in the PrintRanges collection won't be applied. However, this doesn't affect the contents of the PrintRanges collection in any way. That is, if you define some print ranges, set the RangeType property to a value other than ppPrintSlideRange, and then later set RangeType back to ppPrintSlideRange, the print ranges you defined before will remain unchanged.

Specifying a value for the To and From arguments of the PrintOut method sets the value of this property.

Example

This example prints the current slide the active presentation.

With ActivePresentation
    .PrintOptions.RangeType = ppPrintCurrent
    .PrintOut
End With

This example runs the named slide show "Quick Show."

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
    .RangeType = ppShowNamedSlideShow
    .SlideShowName = "Quick Show"
    .Run
End With
