Thanks Allen. I needed to print out a couple of copies of a 10 page document in a hurry, and it was frustrating that Word 2010 had made everything different, quite unnecessarily. I've had it, and Windows 7, along with a new PC for the best part of 6 months now, and still prefer Windows XP and the older Word.

Richard,
All you need to do is look at the correct tip. This one (as it says) is for the older menu-based version of the program. For the newer, ribbon-based versions (2007 and 2010), click the link at the end of this tip.

It's no good telling me how I used to do it. I now have Word 2010 and wish I didn't. How do I do odd (or even) pages only now?

Thank you, I didn't realize it was that easy because I was stuck on the page range option!

Yes this is how I have always done it.
Sadly I now have Word 2010 it's a bit more of a search
Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
