MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / May 2004printing random pages of an integrated document
I maintain several 100+ page manuals with extensive internal hyperlinks, sections, differing headers and footers, auto-generated TOCs and indices,...fundamental Word stuff. What I cannot do is FILE:PRINT:PAGES and enter a page range, 55-69 for example. When I do, the on- screen response is normal and there are no error messages, but in fact nothing is queued to the printer. The only way I have found to print selected pages is to, in fact "select" them with the cursor, leave them highlighted, and the FILE:PRINT:SELECTION. That, however, does not print the headers and footers. (I also thought I remembered being able to print by section number in earlier Word versions, but maybe I had just eaten a bad lunch because I see no such thing now -- Word 2002, SP-1) Help! Do the page numbers restart with each section? If so, then you need to type "s2p2-s2p4" in order to print out pages 2-4 of section 2.

Thank you for the suggestion. It works for whole sections (i.i. "s11") but any cobination of s and p for section/page (like the example you gave) gets an "invalid page range" error. >-----Original Message----- >Do the page numbers restart with each section?

You have to (unintuitively) put the page number first (the same order as in Word's status bar). For more, see the "Print specific pages and sections" section of the Help topic "Print a document." -- Suzanne S.

SignatureRegards Jonathan West - Word MVP http://www.multilinker.com Please reply to the newsgroup It is all too easy to get backward because it is entirely counterintuitive. This is why I always point out that it is the same order in which the page and section are listed on the status bar; that's the mnemonic I always have to use myself because otherwise I would logically put the section number first. -- Suzanne S.

It should be "intuitive" for you as you live in the US: You guys put the street number before the street, too ...! ;-) SCNR & greetinx from Switzerland .bob ..Word-MVP Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news I hadn't thought of it that way, but in fact our address format is strictly logical, moving from specific to general: recipient, company (if any), street address, city, state (or equivalent), and country (if needed). -- Suzanne S.

True enough (I had thought about this but was hoping you wouldn't catch me :-))! To "us" it seems odd if you think about delivering something in an unknown city, you will sure first have to get to the street before the number is relevant to you – well, this all just shows how tricky intuition works. Greetinx .bob ..Word-MVP Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X Against HTML / \ in e-mail & news Although it's relatively rare, there are some cases where you have to know the house number to get the right street. In my town, for example, there are three separate stretches of Bellangee Avenue. Although they're all in a line (in other words, on a map, the street can be seen to be the same), they are not continuous: you can't get from one segment to another without going around several blocks, so the house number is quite relevant. In other cities, there may be streets with the same name that are on opposite sides of town, and the number range (and associated ZIP code) is all that distinguishes them. In Atlanta, for example, there are dozens of variations on "Peachtree." Even in my own small town I think there are three Grand Avenues. -- Suzanne S.
