Printing a selection in Office XP

[sramsey]

I have a document that has 126 pages complete with page
breaks. When I try to print out a few pages, I usually
highlight the pages I want and in the print dialog box
check the selection button so that I will only print the
pages I have selected. Now that I have XP when I use the
above procedure, it prints the page break (actual dotted
lines with the words "page break") on the paper. Is there
a setting that is hidden somewhere in options or other
place that I can't find to have it stop printing the page
break on the paper? When I use this method it also ignores
the page break. It will print the words page break and
print more lines after it.

This is very frustrating. Any help you can give me will be
appreciated, extremely.

Crazy. Why not just enter a page range in the print
dialog box?

This is a bug in Word 2002. You can either print specific pages or you can
copy/paste the selection to a new document and print that. See "WD2002: Word
Incorrectly Prints Column Break Marks and Section Break Marks" at
