Can a section break be embedded in a chapter heading?
My goal is to be able to easily print a chapter. I understand I can just say
"ch3" in the print range (like we can in WordPerfect). However, I could do "s3" to print that "section." Is there a way to embed a section break in every Chapter Heading style? That way, s3 would be chapter 3 (chapter 2 actually, because there's a separate section break in the beginning, but the principle is the same). Thanks, Colin |

Unfortunately, no. Word has a "Page break before" property that can be
applied to paragraphs and paragraph styles, but no "Section break before." If you think about it, you will see that this would be indescribably complex because the paragraph style would then have to incorporate not just the section start type but also all the information contained in a section break about the section formatting: page size and orientation, margins, number of columns, line numbering, whether endnotes are suppressed, printer tray selection, etc.--in short, all the settings in Word's Page Setup dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Is there a some other way to achieve my objective of being able to print any
given chapter, without have to find the first and last page every time, and then printing that page range? Thanks, Colin "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Unfortunately, no.

Hi Colin,
You can easily insert a section break just before each chapter title manually, replacing the page break that I assume you have there now. It's just that there's no way to include the section break in the definition of a paragraph style. After you do so, you can print "s3" or whatever. The sections don't have to have any attributes different from one another (margins, headers/footers, etc.) -- they can serve as just "divisions" for printing. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Colin Higbie wrote: Is there a some other way to achieve my objective of being able to print any given chapter, without have to find the first and last page every time, and then printing that page range?
