SUMMARY
=======

In Word, you can create a multiple-section document with different page
numbering in each section. To specify a page or a range of pages to print, you
must supply both the page and section number of the range you want to print. In
a multiple-section document that contains more than a single page 1, Word cannot
determine which "page 1" to print unless you also supply a section number.

To print a range of pages within a nonadjacent section or across sections, use
the following syntax in the Pages box:

  p<page number>s<section number>-p<page number>s<section
  number>

For example, to print page 5 of section 3 through page 2 of section 4, type
"p5s3-p2s4" (without the quotation marks).

To print nonadjacent pages or nonadjacent sections, type the page and section
numbers, separated by commas (,). For example, to print sections 3 and 5 (not
section 4), type "s3,s5" (without the quotation marks). To print pages 2 through
5 of section 3 and pages 1 through 4 of section 5, type "p2s3-p5s3,p1s5-p4s5"
(without the quotation marks).

For more information, choose the Help button in the Print dialog box and then
select the "Setting Printing Options" topic.
