= SUMMARY =

In Word versions 4.0 and later, to print a particular range of pages or sections, choose Print from the File menu and use the options in the Print dialog box.

For example, to print from page 3 in section 2 to page 4 in section 5 (with Restart At One selected for the section formatting), do the following:


 * 1) In the Section Range From box, type “2” (without the quotation marks).
 * 2) In the Section Range To box, type “5” (without the quotation marks).
 * 3) In the Page Range From box, type “3” (without the quotation marks).
 * 4) In the Page Range To box, type “4” (without the quotation marks).

Note: The Section Range From and Section Range To boxes will be unavailable if your document does not contain section breaks.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Word versions 3.x do not have a section range option. To print section and page ranges, enter the desired page and section range in the page range box in the “P# S#” format.

For example, to print from page 3 in section 2 to page 4 in section 5, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Print.
 * 2) In the From box, type “P3 S2” (without the quotation marks).
 * 3) In the To box, type “P4 S5” (without the quotation marks).

Note that the page and section numbers are always entered in Arabic numerals. If the Roman numeral options are selected for page numbering in the Section dialog box, the Arabic equivalent must be entered. For example, to print page iii in section 2, enter “P3 S2”, not “Piii S2”.
