Printing Selected Pages

[ddeweyduck]

I am unable to print just selected pages in Word 2008. I can choose the radio button next to "From" and put in my selected pages. But then the preview show a blank page and that's exactly what prints - a blank page. All other printing features seem to work fine.

Hi Duck,

Are you saying that some documents print fine but others ­ when you try to
select a page range ­ show a blank page? I¹m making the distinction because
other users have reported that *all* attempts to print from Word 2008 ­
whether whole docs or page range selections ­ produce a blank print preview
and a blank printed page.

All of my documents print fine except when I try to select a page range. Then I get a blank print preview and a blank print page. This is happening for all of my documents.

It's a bug. There is a fix on the way.

In the meantime, try setting the resolution of the printer to 600 dpi or
below. That works for some people...

Hope this helps

What happens if you try to Print a Selection?

 

[ddeweyduck]

Print a Selection - I'm not sure what you mean. If I select a certain page range it prints a blank page. Print current page does work.

 

[Daiya Mitchell]

Sorry--Select (highlight) the text in the document itself and then
select "print selection" in the File Print dialog, which should print
the selected text. Trying to see if this is a viable workaround.

I have the challenge of having a 10 page document and then making a change on page one, but when I go to the print menu, I do not see where to select the pages to be printed. I only want to reprint page one, but I'm forced to print all 10 pages. (I have the Student & Teacher Edition of Office:mac 2004).

 

[Daiya Mitchell]

In the Print dialog, you should be able to select the "From" button and
enter from 1 to 1.

There should also be a Page Range field that you can type 1 into.

Make sure that the unlabeled dropdown at the top of the dialog (not
Printers or Presets, the third dropdown) is set to Copies and Pages.

How do you print a selected page? If you have a five page document and you
want to print 'page 5'??

 

[CyberTaz]

Either of 2 ways:

Go to page 5, then File> Print, click the option for Current Page, or

Go to File> Print, click From:, then enter 5 in both the From &To: boxes.
