Printing individual pages from a mailmerged letter document

[Hammond-Wandsworth]

How do you go about printing a single or a selected few pages from a
mailmerged letter document of several records? Everytime I try to print just
one letter or a select number of them, word will not let me - it wants to
print every letter every time. Is there something I'm doing wrong or a fix
for this? I'm merging from a database rather than speadsheet if that makes a
difference. Cheers.

If by individual pages, you mean the letter created from individual records
in the data source, each of those letters is in a separate Section in the
documnent. As a result, you can print individual ones by specifying the
Section number (s#) in the File Print dialog

e.g.

s1, s3, s5-s8

If the letters themselves have more than one page, you would specify

p1s1, p3s1 etc.

Sorted. Excellent. Much appreciated.
