Printing a range of pages in a multi-section document stopped working
Hi
I'm writing a novel and thus I need to print off page ranges to give to agents and publishers. Can you tell me roughly when this page range bug will be sorted? Thankyou Stefan_Blom
Hi John Paul,
This may help in the interim. I found that the problem occurs for me when I have page numbering in the form 'page x of y'. I get around the problem by having just 'page x'.
Good luck with your novel.

In more detail, here is how to trigger the problem and how to get around it (but not how to fix it) .
Step 1.
From scratch, create a simple document in Word. For example, the text ‘page One’, a page break, and the text ‘Page Two’.
Insert, Page Number, Bottom of Page, Page X of Y (Bold Numbers 1).
Save the document.
Step 2.
Attempt to print.
Select to print just page 1.
It will not. Nor page 2.
Step 3.
Edit the footer.
Remove page number.
Add page number.
This time, just the plain number. (That is ‘page x’, not ‘page x of y’.)
Save the document.
Step 4.
Attempt to print.
Select to print just page 1.
It prints.
And also for just page 2.
- thanks
