How do I make page breaks in a mail merge document

[Kathy in Toledo]

I have been using the mail merge feature in Word for many years. The 2003
version uses section breaks instead of page breaks as was the case
previously. I routinely merge approximately 145 letters with data in an
Excel file. My printer quit printing after 94 merged letters. I then
attempted to print page 95-145 and nothing happens. It was pointed out to me
that there is only 1 page and 145 section breaks. The problem is that you
cannot print either individual letters or individual sections. What to do?

Word has always separated the individual letters with Section Breaks.

You can specify the Section that you want to print by insert s1, s3 s5 - s8
etc in the Pages control of the Page Range section of the File Print dialog.

You can print individual sections or a range of sections in any output file
you produced by going into File|Print, seelcting the Pages box in "Page
Range" and specifying (say) s95-s145
