Printing Only Selected Pages
Word gives you complete control over how it prints your document. You can either print the entire document or you can print a portion of it. To print only selected pages, follow these steps:
- Press Ctrl+P to bring up the printing options in the File tab of the ribbon.
- In the Pages box, indicate the page numbers you want to print.
- Click on OK.
When you specify page numbers, Word allows you quite a bit of flexibility. The following are some general guidelines for specifying page numbers:
- You can specify a single page number.
- You can specify a group of non-sequential pages by separating them by commas, i.e., 4, 8, 19.
- You can specify a sequential range of pages by putting a dash between them. Thus, 4-7 would print pages 4 through 7.
- You can print an entire section by using s. For instance, to print section 5 of your document, you would use s5.
- You can print multiple sections the same as you would print multiple pages. For example, s2, s6 would print sections 2 and 6.
- You can specify pages within a section by using s and p with page numbers. For instance, if you want to print pages 2 through 7 of section 4, you would use p2s4-p7s4.
- You can specify a range of pages across sections in the same manner. To print beginning with page 2 of section 4 and ending with page 5 of section 7 you would use p2s4-p5s7.
