SUMMARY
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 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.

To print a range of pages within a nonadjacent section or across sections, use the following syntax in the Pages box:

p s -p s

For example, to print page 5 of section 3 through page 2 of section 4, type &quot;p5s3-p2s4&quot; (without the quotation marks).

To print nonadjacent pages or nonadjacent sections, type the page and section numbers, separated by commas. For example, to print sections 3 and 5 (not section 4), type &quot;s3,s5&quot; (without the quotation marks). To print pages 2 through 5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type &quot;p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5&quot; (without the quotation marks).

For more information, choose the Help button in the Print dialog box and then select the &quot;Setting Printing Options&quot; topic.
