With mail-merge I create a batch of several hundred labels and save them in a
new document. The document consists of one "page" with each sheet of labels
as a new "section". To guard against printer problems, I want to print my
batch a few sheets ("sections") at a time. I know how to print selected
"pages" but not selected "sections". Any suggestions?

If each page really is a separate Section, you specify the Sections that you
want to print by prefixing the numbers with an s in the file print dialog

e.g. s1 - s3

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I guess it's easy when you know how.
