 * Print a Range of Pages Across Sections



SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to print a range of pages in a Microsoft Word document that has multiple sections, each with its own page-numbering sequence.

In Word, you can create a multiple-section document with different page numbering in each section. To specify a page or a range of pages to print, you must supply both the page and section number of the range that you want to print. In a multiple-section document that contains more than a single page 1, Word cannot determine which &quot;page 1&quot; to print unless you also supply a section number.

Print a Range of Pages Across Sections
To print a range of pages across sections, use the following syntax in the Pages box (in the Print range section of the Print dialog box):

p< >s< >-ps< >

For example, to print page 5 of section 3 through page 2 of section 4, type p5s3-p2s4.

To print nonadjacent pages or nonadjacent sections, type the page and section numbers, separated by a comma. For example, to print sections 3 and 5 (but not section 4), type s3,s5. To print pages 2 through 5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5.

To print a page or a range of pages, follow these steps:
 * 1) Scroll to the page where you want to start printing, and then click anywhere in the margins.
 * 2) Note the page and section number, as shown on the Word status bar.
 * 3) Scroll to the last page that you want to include in the print selection, and then click anywhere in the margins.
 * 4) Note the page and section number, as shown on the Word status bar.
 * 5) On the File menu, click Print.
 * 6) Click Pages, and then type the range by using the syntax p< >s< >-p< >s< > in the box.
 * 7) Click OK to print the range.

Note These steps may also be useful when printing selected pages of a merged document. back to the top
