Print a Range of Pages


The Problem:

I know how to print separate pages or ranges of pages by entering 1,6,8-20 or whatever in the Pages text box in the Print dialog box. But now I need to print only some sections of a documentor, better yet, only some pages within particular sections.

The Solution:

You can tell Word which sections you want to print by using s and a number to represent each section. For example, s1 prints Section 1, s1-s3 prints Sections 1 through 3, and s2,s4 prints Sections 2 and 4.


Tip: To create sections within your documents, choose Insert Break and select the appropriate type of section break.

If you need to print only some pages within a section, use p and a number to represent the page and s and a number to represent the section. For example, p2s4 refers to Page 2 in Section 4. The easiest way to get the designation correct is to move the insertion point to the page you want to print and then look at the Page X Sec Y readout at the left end of the status bar.

To print a range that spans sections, type the starting point, a hyphen, and the ending point in the Pages text box. For example, p2s2-p6s4 prints from Page 2, Section 2 to Page 6, Section 4.
