Print Preview a Page Range
I use many large documents at work. They range from user manuals to technical
descriptions. Some of them are split into different volumes because of their size. This means that often the pages numbers do not begin at 1. I usually only want to print a section of the document, so I use the Page Range to specify the pages that I want. Many times I've sent a page range (124-164) that I thought was correct only to find out I got 30 printed pages from the end of the document, not the ones I was looking at. Now I have to try to figure out how to translate the page numbers so I specify the range I'm looking for. I would like a Preview button on the Print dialog box. After I enter a page range, then press the Preview button, I'm taken to a print preview of just the page range I have entered. I can quickly determine if this is the page range I would like and then press the print button from here to send it to the printer and commit to generating a hardcopy of the section. -- Jack Rumple ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Print Preview a Page Range
Hi Jack,
Your printer driver may already supply that function -- both of my inkjets, an Epson and a Canon, do have it. In the Print dialog, click Properties next to the printer's name. In the resulting dialog, which is supplied by the printer driver, look for a check box labeled "Print preview" or "Preview before printing". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thanks for the sugesstion.
I checked and the company Lexmark W820 PS3 does not have the feature you describe with its printer driver. It sounds as if some printer manufaturers have already responded to this customer desire. It would be helpful if Microsoft Word would offer the option so I'm not dependent on the printer driver. The last time I bought a personal printer I don't remember this type of feature being described. It would be helpful if this was listed with other printer features. I would purchase as comparable, if more expensive, printer offering a preview feature because it would save me wasted paper and ink/toner. -- Jack Rumple "Jay Freedman" wrote: Hi Jack, Your printer driver may already supply that function -- both of my inkjets, an Epson and a Canon, do have it.
