How to batch print the last page of multiple Word documents

AuthorAmanda LiLast modified

In many cases, you may only need the last page of a Word document, such as a signature page or final summary. Unfortunately, Word doesn’t support batch printing just the last page by default. The good news is that there are two workable ways to get this done.


Batch print the last page of each document using Kutools

Kutools for Word includes a dedicated Batch Printing feature that makes it easy to apply the same print rule to many documents at once. In this case, you can print only the last page of each document without opening files one by one. You can work with individual files or entire folders (including subfolders).

Kutools for Word

Kutools for Word helps you handle everyday document tasks faster with practical tools built right into Microsoft Word—no coding, no complex setup.

  • AI writing, polishing, translation, and summarization
  • Batch find and replace across documents
  • Merge and split Word documents easily
  • Batch Word ↔ PDF conversion
  1. Open Word. On the ribbon, click Kutools Plus > Batch Printing.

  2. In the Print Specific Pages window, do the following:
    1. Add the documents you want to print:
      • Click Add Files to choose specific Word documents.
      • Or click Add Folder to include all documents in a folder and its subfolders.
    2. Select Last page under the Print Range section.
    3. Click Print.

      Tips:
      • Other options in the Print Range let you print the first page, all pages, odd or even pages, or a custom page range across all documents.
      • Enable Print in reverse order to change the page output order, which can help keep printed pages arranged correctly.

After the batch finishes, Kutools for Word displays a summary window showing how many documents were printed successfully.

Note:

  • Batch Printing uses the printer currently selected in Word. If you need to use a different printer, choose it first in File > Print, then run the batch.

  • Designed specifically for batch printing
  • Control print range for all documents in one place
  • No fixed limit on number of files
  • Add files or entire folders quickly
  • Well suited for repeat printing tasks

Cons

  • Requires Kutools for Word to be available

Batch print the last page of each document with VBA

If you want a built-in solution without relying on add-ins, you can use a VBA macro to print only the last page of each Word document in a folder. This approach requires some setup, but once it’s in place, the same macro can be reused whenever needed.

  1. In a new or separate Word document that you do not plan to print, press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor.
  2. Click Insert > Module.
    Insert a new module in the VBA editor by clicking Insert > Module
  3. Paste the macro below into the Module window, then replace C:\YourFolder\ with the path to your own folder.
    Sub BatchPrintLastPage()
        Dim folderPath As String
        Dim fileName As String
        Dim doc As Document
        Dim lastPage As Long
    
        ' Set your folder path here (must end with a backslash)
        folderPath = "C:\YourFolder\"
        
        If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then folderPath = folderPath & "\"
    
        fileName = Dir(folderPath & "*.doc*")
    
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
        Do While fileName <> ""
            Set doc = Documents.Open( _
                fileName:=folderPath & fileName, _
                ReadOnly:=True, _
                AddToRecentFiles:=False _
            )
    
            doc.Repaginate
            lastPage = doc.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages)
    
            doc.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Pages:=CStr(lastPage), Background:=False
    
            doc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
            fileName = Dir()
        Loop
    
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    
  4. Press F5 to run the macro.

The macro prints only the last page of each Word document in the specified folder. Documents stored in subfolders are not included.

Notes:

  • The macro must run from a separate, non-printed Word document, or the batch will fail.
  • Macros must be enabled. If your company blocks macros, this method won’t work.
  • This method uses the printer currently selected in Word. If you need to use a different printer, choose it first in File > Print before running the macro.

Pros

  • One run prints the whole folder
  • No fixed limit on number of files
  • Can be customized later (filters, rules, logging)

Cons

  • Macros may be disabled by policy
  • Requires basic VBA editing
  • Large batches may cause Word to slow down temporarily

Conclusion

Printing only the last page of multiple Word documents isn’t something Word supports out of the box. If you want a quick and visual solution, Kutools Batch Printing is the easiest and most reliable option. If you prefer a built-in approach and don’t mind some setup, a VBA macro can handle the task and be reused whenever the same workflow is needed.
