Print a single section in Word

[Gill Schofield]

Hi

I'd like to be able to easily print a specific section in a document, either
using a macro or (ideally) not.

The doc is a report template that a large number of people will use from
Work Group templates; it is in 3 sections, 1 is the template preview to help
users find the right one and 3 is the end-notes. 2 can be of variable length
(depending upon how much they type in). If they are printing it would be
nice to have an easy way to print only section 2 so they don't have to
remember to set the page ranges each time.

Thanks for any help

In the print dialog, instead of writing a page range to print (like: 5-47)
type a section to print: s2.
You can also print specific pages from specific sections: p2s2-p6s2,p4s3,s4.
Etc.

If by "sections", you mean the portion of a document between two Section
Breaks, or before the first Section Break or after the last Section Break,
where the Section Breaks are inserted from the Insert>Break menu item, then
in the File Print dialog, to print the second such section of the document ,
you would enter

s2

in the Pages control of the Page range section of the Print dialog.
