MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2004mail merge printing
why can't we print only selected pages from the final merged document. We can print a current page but cannot select, say, pages 6-10 to be printed. Use CTRL+P to bring up the Print panel. You can either print a selection of pages you have highlighted or you can select the Pages option and plug in the pages to be printed. (EX: 5-12 will print pages 5 to 12) > why can't we print only selected pages from the final > merged document. We can print a current page but cannot > select, say, pages 6-10 to be printed. Trouble is it prints the whole document - not the selected pages. I should have included this comment in my original quesiton. There seems to be something different about a merged document as opposed to a normal document of many pages. >-----Original Message----- >Use CTRL+P to bring up the Print panel.

With a document created by mailmerge, the "pages" are actually Sections in the document so it is necessary to prefix the number with an s s5-s12 with print pages 5 to 12  SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

I don't know what you did wrong, but that is the way to do it. For a particular page of a particular section, specify p#s# e.g. p2s3 will print the second page of the third section.

To print a particular page in a particular section, if each section contains multiple pages, then you need to specify the page number p# and the section number s# For example p2s3 will print the second page of the 3rd section in the document. The size of the file has nothing to do with it. SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.
