how to print selected pages from a word document with several sec.

[Printing selected pages]

I have one document made up of numerous sections. If the page numbers I want
to print are outside the range of the sections, the printer does not
recognize the page numbers. Example: the document has total 100 pages and 10
sections with 10 pages in each section. I want to print pages 40-50. The
printer does not recognize the page numbers, because they are outside of the
section page numbers range. What to fix that without changing the document
setup/format?

You need to enter both page and section numbers. If page numbering restarts
in any or all sections, use the page numbers as they display on the pages,
not the "physical" number. Assuming each of your sections restarts at 1, you
could enter p1s4-p10s4 (or simply s4 ) to print the fourth section.
