I am trying to figure out a way to print sections of a long mail
merged document- I came to this group and found the instruction to
enter, let's say, s2 to s10...only problem is my printer won't accept
a letters in the 'page number section'  (it is an antique Personal
Laserwriter LS).

The option to print 'selected areas only' on my printer is greyed out,
so I can't print out a page or two that way either....

I have found that in the mailmerge helper one can print sections, but
my document is so large, I'm  wondering if there is a way to make a
field to automatically assign a (non-printing) number to each section
or record--for no other reason than to find a way NOT to print out an
entire document each time I want to print.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this would be much appreciated,
except to buy a new printer - I can't afford it and what this old
printer DOES manage to print out looks great!

(BTW, I am using a pre-2002 version of word)

Thanks
