Word 2002 SP3 not printing range or comma separated page values
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. |

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...leSections.htm for more. This hasn't changed with SP3 -- in fact, I think it was the same in Word 2.0. -- 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. |

Does the document contain more than one section?

Word 2002 SP3 not printing range or comma separated page value
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.

Word 2002 SP3 not printing range or comma separated page value
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. -- 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 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 "Ben A C Smith" wrote: Hi, I tried this but it too does not work.
