You don't tell us, but I assume that you have restarted your page numbering
at the section break. You can specify sections and pages in the print
dialog, not sure how to handle this in GoTo other than by putting bookmarks
where you want them. Do you use heading styles? If so, the document map or
displays in the scroll bar would help you navigate in the document.

Hi,

I have a document with a number of sections - 67 pages in the first, 70 in
the second and a few other sections at the end just a few page each.

If you use the Go To dialog to select page 68, Word actually goes to page
68 of the second section (regardless of the original cursor location)
which is in fact the 135th page of the document. If you were to choose
(say) page 120, Word will go to the 120th page (presumably because there
is no 'page number' 120 in any of the sections).

Specifying pages to print in the Print dialog seems to work on a similar
logic.

While I can work around this happily enough it is driving some of my users
mad. Is there some way to override the logic so that when you choose to
print from, or go to, page 68, you actually go to the 68th page of the
document, not to page 68 in the first section that has that many pages.

I hope the above makes sense - sometimes difficult to describe a 'feature'
that seems to make no sense at all!

TIA

Paul
