Why can't I select and print from within a table in Microsoft Wor.

[Guest]

We have Microsoft Office XP and need to print only selected portions of
tables in Microsoft Word in order to print rolodex and file labels. When we
select a portion of the text and then go to print, the "selection" option is
shaded and will not allow us to print less than a whole page. This is
wasting time and labels. Is there a workaround for this?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZGhhd2tlcg==?=,

Try selecting the table cell you want to print as a label, then go to
Tools/Letters and Mailings/Envelopes and Labels/Labels. On my system, the table
cell content appears in the address box. And at the bottom of the dialog box
you can choose to print a single label, and specify the starting position.

If this isn't what you're looking for, the only other thing I can suggest would
be to copy/paste the table cells into an empty table sheet, so that only the
cells are filled that you want to print. Then print this document.
