Page control in Print Screen

[Ricardo Lopes]

When printing both sides of a paper, not having a double sided printer, MS
Word is a bit tricky. Let me explain.
Suppose you have independent page numbering, and you are printing pages
within only one section, no problem Word understands the odd and even page
concept.
However, when doing the same for pages on more than one section, Word got
lost and print more pages than expected. Therefore you lose the page you
already printed one side. You need to do it again.
Another related issue. When saying: print 12-19 only odd pages, Word returns
only the even pages (12, 14, 16, 18). Conversely, for even pages, Word
returns the odd pages(13, 15, 17, 19). I arrive to a conclusion that Word
consider odd and even within the range (page 0, page 1,,,page 7),
irrespective of the actual page number. Or it is just a mini bug, sitting
there for a while. I arrive to this conclusion after losing several pages
already printed.
Anyway it is nice to be here.

Hi Ricardo,

Are you using the "p1s1" form for the page numbers you enter into the Print
dialog? See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/PrintMultipleSections.htm
for what I mean. This will at least stop the printing of extra pages, and it
may straighten out the even/odd problem.
