I've had real good luck printing only what I want printed by highlighting what I want, and maybe a little more, then pressing Control C for copy. I minimize that screen by clicking on that little minus sign in the top right corner. Then I go to Word. When the blank page comes up, I press Control V, for paste. What I had highlighted comes up on the screen. Now you can edit it: erase what you don't want and type in information you might need. Now press Control P for print and you have your document just as you want it.
Hope this helps.

Anita Hallock illustrated this strip-piecing method for flying geese and triangles in her books Fast Patch Kids Quilts and Scrap Quilts: a treasury of Strip Quilt projects. I have all her books and made several of her quilts using this method. She was way ahead of her time when it comes to strip-piecing!!

Thank you! I have been busting my brains every now and then coming back to this thread and also searching online, at the same time knowing I had seen this before.
I can sleep now....

Carla, I think you're a genius! thanks for posting this, just the kind of "trick" I love!
I have one for 4-patches that friend came up with 20 years ago, but don't want to hijack your thread.
