How to print a doc using absolute page numbers?

[Thush]

Is there any way to print a document using absolute page number?
For example let's say my doc has 10 pages. The absolute 6th page is the
2nd page of section 3 (p2s3). In the print dialog if I give p2s3 it
prints the correct page. Similarly is there a syntax to give the
absolute page number in the print dialog? (what I want is something
like: (some symbol)6 to be given in the print dialog and to print the
absolute 6th page. )

Thank you for any information.

Best regards,
Thushan

The trouble with that approach is, it doesn't always work. In the case
of a final page, where the section number is the same as the
next-to-last page, (Say p1s88 and p2s88) goto p2S88 moves selection to
next-to-last page, not the very last page.

It's hard to understand why Word does not include the potentially very
useful feature of GoTo (absolute page number)n
