Duplex printing across section breaks not working

[colblip]

Hello, All!

I have a document someone else prepared. It has a number of section breaks
in it. When I try to duplex print a section of the document beyond the 1st
section break, the printing does not work. If I replace the section break
with a page break then the section will print duplex until it runs into
another section break.

I there some setting I'm missing for printing without replacing all of the
section breaks?

Thanks,

Colonel Blip

Document is 80pages long with section breaks typically every 5-8 pages. Set
duplex printing on my printer (Brother 1440). Print All - prints fine. Print
1-5 (no section break) prints fine. Print 1-10 (inclusive of 1st section
break) - does not print, i.e. no info goes to the print spooler. Remove
section break and replace with simple page break and try again - prints
fine.

Can keep repeating this process and as long as no section break duplex
printing works; otherwise it doesn't.

Hello, Doug!

That's because in a multi-section document, you must include the section
number when you are printing a range. So you need to enter something like:

p1s1 - p10s2

See Word Help for further information.
