SUMMARY

This article discusses how to print a page or range of pages in Word 2003.

MORE INFORMATION

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 that you want to print. In a multiple-section document that contains more than a single page 1, Word cannot determine the "page 1" to print unless you also supply a section number.
To print a range of pages across sections, use the following syntax in the Pages box:

page numbersection number-page numbersection number

For example, you might type p1s1-p2s2 to print page 1 of section 1 through page 2 of section 2.

To print a page or a range of pages in Word, follow these steps:
  1. Scroll to the page where you want to start printing, and then click anywhere in the margins.

    Note the page and section number as shown on the status bar.
  2. Scroll to the last page that you want to include in the print selection, and then click anywhere in the margins.

    Note the page and section number as shown on the status bar.
  3. On the File menu, click Print.
  4. Click Pages, and then type the range by using the syntax p#s#-p#s# in the box.

    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 a comma (,). For example, to print sections 3 and 5 (not section 4), type s3,s5. To print pages 2 through 5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5.
  5. Click OK to print the range.
