Default print only certain rows from a word table

I want to print only certain rows from a table. I and others would select
rows to be printed via a check box. Selected rows would print out without any
blank rows between them. Any way I can do this?

There is no built-in way to do this, since Word will not print
non-contiguous selections. You would need to write a macro that selects rows
based upon the checkboxes, copies the selection to the clipboard, pastes to
a new temporary working window, prints from there, closes the temporary
working window without saving, and then returns to the original document
window.

Can you suggest a macro that would select the rows based upon the checkbox
being clicked?
