Problem trying to print "from page --- TO PAGE___"". When I try
to do this,, the preview shows nothing and the page numbers go
to 0. Only if I start printing from page 1 does it all print,,
but that is a waste.. Why is this happening?? I can select
individual pages in PDF files?? Thanks.. I have an intel mac,,
10..4.9,, and have upgraded Office to 11..3.5.. Thanks.

Are there section breaks in your file? (columns, places where the
numbering restarts or the page orientation changes?) If so, you need to
tell Word both the section and the page number. See the Help topic
"Print specific pages and sections" for more detailed instructions.

No, it is a merged document from an excel spreadsheet which has
a different Address on each page.. I wanted to print envelopes
5-10,, but it just zeroes out and nothing happens.. I have no
problem printing specific pages from a pdf or excell spreadsheet
itsewlf,, only the merged word document.. Thanks.

Hello,
Do you have any headers/footers in your document?
I got susspisions for the document to be corrupeted. Can you try any
of these if this will help to solve the problem:

Hi Jack -

If the doc is the result of a merge & each "page" is an envelope then you
*do* have sections.

Each page [envelope] is separated from the next by a Next Page Section
Break - turn on the ¶ (Non-printing Characters) and you should be able to
see them. If this is the case, Daiya's response should provide the result
you're looking for.

FWIW, if the doc *isn't* a series of envelopes & the record source is still
available it might even be better to just do a new merge including only the
required records & merge directly to the printer.
