Printing Only Selected Pages

Word gives you complete control over how it prints your document. You can either print the entire document, or you can print a portion of it. To print only selected pages, follow these steps:

1. Choose Print from the File menu. You will see the Print dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
2. In the Pages box, indicate the page numbers you want to print.
3. Click on OK.

When you specify page numbers, Word allows you quite a bit of flexibility. The following are some general guidelines for specifying page numbers:

• You can specify a single page number.
• You can specify a group of non-sequential pages by separating them by commas, i.e., 4, 8, 19.
• You can specify a sequential range of pages by putting a dash between them. Thus, 4-7 would print pages 4 through 7.
• You can print an entire section by using s. For instance, to print section 5 of your document, you would use s5.
• You can print multiple sections the same as you would print multiple pages. For example, s2, s6 would print sections 2 and 6.
• You can specify pages within a section by using s and p with page numbers. For instance, if you want to print pages 2 through 7 of section 4, you would use p2s4-p7s4.
• You can specify a range of pages across sections in the same manner. To print beginning with page 2 of section 4 and ending with page 5 of section 7 you would use p2s4-p5s7.
