Printing mail merge document

[Lesley W]

I cannot print a stiplulated page range of a merged document. Print Current Page works but I often only want pages 1-4 or whatever and this won't work. I have tried printing to three different printers (all different types of printers) with no luck. I am using Word XP. Any help with fixing this problem would be very much appreciated as it is something I use often.

Each letter created by executing a formletter type mailmerge is created in a
separate Section in the document. accordingly it is necessary to specify
the Section numbers that you want to print. You do that by prefixing the
number with an s

s1 - s4

When you merge form letters or similar types of merged
documents to a new document, Microsoft Word places each
letter in a separate section of the new document. To print
only specific letters from the new document, click print
on the file menu. In the Pages box, type the numbers of
the sections that contain the letter you want to print.
For example, to print the third, sixth, seventh and eighth
form letters, type s3,s6-s8 in the Pages box. To identify
the section number, click a letter and then note the
section number displayed in the status bar - for
example, "Sec 3."

Let me know if this works for you.
