Word 2002 SP3 not printing range or comma separated page values

[Guest]

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea why MS Word 2002 SP3 will print a document - all
pages, but it will now not print a range of pages e.g. (13-20) or pages input
like: 2,5,7,19,22 etc.

It all worked fine until I added SP3.

Any help would be appreciated as I have a mail merged document with 200
pages and need to print off just some of them.

Thanks in advance.

A mail merge document consists of a separate section for each record.
Use the "s2,s5,s7" syntax in the Print dialog to print specific
sections. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/PrintMultipleSections.htm for
more.

This hasn't changed with SP3 -- in fact, I think it was the same in
Word 2.0.

Does the document contain more than one section?

Hi,

I tried this but it too does not work. I opened another long document that
is not mail merged and it printed fine using '1,3,4,10-12' , 's1, s2' etc.

I guess it must be an isolated problem with this mail merged document. Any
further suggestions?

PS:// when i tried to use s1,s2 it told me it was incorrect syntax.

Thanks for your input.

Hi Ben,

I suppose it would be possible for some kind of document corruption to
cause that problem, but there's definitely nothing wrong with the
syntax. I just tried using 's1,s2' in a document with only one
section, and it worked without complaining. For good measure I tried
it with a semicolon in place of the comma, and it took that, too.

To check out the corruption possibility, see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm.

Thanks for your help.

I'll check the doc and see if that helps.

Otherwise I'll just put it down to one of those things in life.

Thanks

Again
