= SYMPTOMS =

If you select a portion of a table, the Print Selection Only option in the Print dialog box (on the File menu) may be unavailable.

= WORKAROUND =

To print only a portion of a table, you must select entire rows (by double-clicking the selection bar of the first cell in a row) or the entire table (by OPTION+double-clicking anywhere in the table). The Print Selection Only option then will be accessible in the Print dialog box.

Note: Dragging the mouse to highlight the entire row won’t enable the print selection option, even though dragging apparently highlights the same area as described above.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
