Every day I merge a document with close to 100+ pages. Every few weeks, I
have to repring about 10 pages of each fully merged document. When I go to
try and print the selected pages I need, Word reprints all pages, not the
selected pages I chose.

For example... I have my new 100 page merged document. I need to print
pages 3, 6, 43, 66, 89, and 100. When I go to File, Print, and choose those
page numbers to print, word prints all 100 pages again. Any idea on why that
is?

I am using Word 2002.

You need to specify the section number as well as the page number as a new
section is created for each record in the data source.

If each record results in one page in the resulting document, then specify

s3,s6,s43,s66,s89,s100

Hope this helps.

Do you have section breaks in the document? If so you have to specify the
section number as well as the page number.
