print range setting not working in some Word Documents
We have several documents in Word (2007) where the print range settings do
not work: an empty print spool file is sent. In other documents the print range setting works fine. - specifying a page range does not work, printing all pages or current page or selection works fine - there is only 1 section, so it's not a section problem, specifying section anyway (p14s1-p20s1) in page range does not help - when I copy the contents to a new document, the problem remains - when I copy the contents to a new document as unformatted text, the problem is gone (but I do not want to remove all formatting) - page range does not work printing to any printer, not even PDFCreator or Microsoft XPS Document Writer - I can see a print spool file spooling but it contains no pages so doesn't actually print anything (1 blank page in XPS) any help in solving this mystery would be greatly appreciated, -- TomD |

This might be document corruption. If the fix suggested by Tom D works, then
I'd say it's definitely a case of document corruption. If you worry about having to reformat the document, try copying the contents except for the final paragraph mark into a new document; that way, paragraph formatting is preserved, and it usually clears the corruption (which is often stored in the final paragraph mark). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mendel" wrote in message ...

No other help then what you see here. I believe what Stefan wrote to be
correct, it has to be some document corruption. As Stefan suggests you can copy everything excluding the final paragraph mark and copy this into a new document.This keeps formatting and solved the print range issue, at least for my documents. -- TomD "Stefan Blom" wrote: This might be document corruption.
