Ken, use the page numbers you see in the status bar, not the page numbers you told Word to print.

Re: [TCP] (no subject)
Well, maybe we're getting closer. FWIW, neither section has been formally named or designated as "Section 1" or "Section 2". When I entered page range "p2s2-p4s2", I got pages ii thru iv (from the foreword section of the book). I'll keep trying if more ideas come through. -- Ken -- Original message from "Char James-Tanny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- > Hi, Ken :-) > > > How can I print ONLY pages "1" thru "8" (or anything less) without getting > > the > Foreword (Roman numeralled) pages as well? > > You have to specify the section number, along with the page numbers. > IIRC, the start page is "p1s1-p8s1". > > Char James-Tanny ~ JTF Associates, Inc. ~ http://www.helpstuff.com __ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.

Re: [TCP] (no subject)
IIRC, you can also just specify the section, choosing to print s1, s2, and so on.

Hi, Ken :-) > How can I print ONLY pages "1" thru "8" (or anything less) without getting > the Foreword (Roman numeralled) pages as well? You have to specify the section number, along with the page numbers. IIRC, the start page is "p1s1-p8s1".

Here's a printing problem for you Word-experts. Currently, I'm working on a document approximately 100 or so pages in length. I used a "section break" to split the first 8 pages from the rest of the book. The first section (Foreword) contains the title page, TOC and a few more pages of technical data and uses Roman numerals in the page footer. Total length = 8 pages (or "viii"). The second section (book proper) begins with Arabic number 1 in the footer and contains a series of chapters which are really the meat of the book. The first chapter in the book proper is also 8 pages long. When I attempt to print out only pages 1-8 (of the book proper), I get "i" thru "viii" AND pages 1 thru 8. If I attempt to print pages 1 thru 7 or anything less, I get only those pages from the Foreword (i through vii). Of course, when I print pages 9 thru anything else, only those pages from the book proper are printed (obviously because there are no Foreword pages "ix" and up). In the Word print menu, I checked the "Print what" and "Options" drop-downs and none of the choices apply. (The "Properties" button, of course, applies to only the printer itself, in this case a Canon Imagerunner 7095, but it doesn't matter because it happens with all of the other printers in the printer room anyway). How can I print ONLY pages "1" thru "8" (or anything less) without getting the Foreword (Roman numeralled) pages as well? I'm sure there's a few keystrokes I'm not doing, but what are they? And lots of trees out there would like to know as well. -- Ken in Atlanta (Salary survey? No thanks.

WOW! Reading about other folk's projects makes me feel like a slacker!My main job is teaching Psychology rather than tech writing. But I do tech writing as part of my moonlighting activities. I'm learning more about it reading posts from you pros.I'm currently working on:1. An assembly manual for a novel kit car frame - while building the prototype.2. Building a website for the project (http://www.mekk.biz).3. Assisting development of another website (http://www.ddstaff.com).4. And, attempting to prep* for reading 170 student psych experiment reports (takes about 40 hours). * Requires meditation, remembering I'd be starving with out my tiny salary, and occasional consumption of alcohol.See my blog at: psysciguy.blogspot.com/ for comments on the intersection of Psychology and the wider world of Science.
