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 "page 1" 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 p5s3-p2s4.

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 "s3,s5" (without the quotation marks). To print pages 2 through 5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5.

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



MORE INFORMATION
To print a page or range of pages, follow these steps:

 Scroll to the page where you want to start printing, and click anywhere within the margins. Note the page and section number as shown on the status bar as in the following example:

Page 2 Sec 4

 Scroll to the last page you want to include in the print selection, and click anywhere within the margins. Note the page and section number displaying on the status bar as in the following example:

Page 1 Sec 5

 On the File menu, click Print. Look for a Range button and click it.

NOTE: Depending on the printer driver that you are using, you may see the Range button on the Print dialog box or you will have a General selection bar. If you see the Range button on the Print dialog box, click it. If you do not see the Range button on the Print dialog box, click the General selection bar, click Microsoft Word, and then click Range.</li> Select the Pages Option and then type the following in the box:

2S4-1S5

</li> Click OK and then click Print.</li></ol>
