word 2008 print page range

[rick]

I have a 160 page document that will not allow a range of pages to print properly. I want to be able to keep all of the information together. Any suggestions?

Hi Rick,

If the document has section breaks, then you *must* use section numbers
as well as page numbers to print a range--see the Help topic "Print
specific pages and sections". If that's not it:

Can you give more detail? What options do you select in the print
dialog, what do you enter, and what happens instead? What does "not
properly" mean?

What does wanting to "keep all of the information together" have to do
with your question? Not following what you mean by that.

This is a document that has come from an xls mailmerge. The only thing that was merged is a first and last name. There is a pagebreak in between each entry. Now, post merge, each person has between 2 and three pages. So far, and I am only up to the letter L, there are 160 pages in the whole document. When I put print from 93 to 95, I get in the preview dialogue box 0-0, and a single blank page comes through the printer. If I hand type in 93-95 in page range, the same thing happens. If I put 9, I get a range of 1-70 pages, but as soon as I tried to put in a page range, that went back to 0-0. If I put 50-55, I get 0-0. If I put print all, I get 160. It just seems to be about any range coming out as 0.

Hi Rick - See in line:

was merged is a first and last name. There is a pagebreak in between each
entry.

No sir, there isn't - there's a Next Page SECTION Break "between each entry"
if this is the result of a merge Turn on the ¶ (non-printing characters)
and you'll find that to be the case.

Now, post merge, each person has between 2 and three pages. So far, and
I am only up to the letter L, there are 160 pages in the whole document. When
I put print from 93 to 95, I get in the preview dialogue box 0-0, and a single
blank page comes through the printer. If I hand type in 93-95 in page range,
the same thing happens. If I put 9, I get a range of 1-70 pages, but as soon
as I tried to put in a page range, that went back to 0-0. If I put 50-55, I
get 0-0. If I put print all, I get 160. It just seems to be about any range
coming out as 0.

Follow Daiya's instructions to print the desired *sections* of the doc.
