I need desparately to be able to print just selected pages of labels. Every
version of Word I have had, including Word 2002, creates labels as one page,
even though the actual number of label sheets are many. Is there a way I can
'trick" Word into printing, say pages 7,8, instead of all 20 sheets?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Each "page" is a Section, hence specify the sheets that you want to print by
prefixing the number with s

s7,s8

Thank you, thank you! It worked perfectly! I feel rather chagrined that I
didn't know that each sheet was considered a section! I will give you credit
at work when I tell them I solved the problem! Thanks again!

Merge to a new document. Following the merge, each page of the new label
document is separatyed by a section break, thus you can print by addressing
the sections eg for 'pages' 7 and 8 - enter s7-s8 in the print pages box
