MS Office - Word - Not printing specified pages
This has just started happening on Word documents that I have been using for (seemingly) ever.All have been created/recently read on MS Office 2016 and some have been recently read on MS Office 365.
I cannot print selected pages, e.g. 80-81 or 88-91 - Word takes the request and just ignores it.
I CAN print whole documents or current page.
I have repaired Office 2016 (Quick and Full) and retried but to no avail.
I DO NOT have the problem on MS Excel (2016 or O365) - specified pages print as requested.
Investigations on the internet reveal that this is not an unknown problem but, so far I have not discovered a reason or resolution for this sudden manifestation .....
Has anyone had the same experience and resolved it .....

Re: MS Office - Word - Not printing specified pages
Just discovered a thread on the MS websitehttps://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-cb2e27c8ee9c
I've found that the issue seems to be that in a document with a section break the first section is now "S0", and the second section is "S2" - the result of this is that printing page ranges has been broken thoroughly.

Re: MS Office - Word - Not printing specified pages
I spent an interesting hour with the charming "Nathalie Nicole" who established a remote session with me and put my PC through its' paces - she found, as I had, that Word documents won't print specific pages so she will forward my case to the investigators .....

Re: MS Office - Word - Not printing specified pages
Whether it's a solution or a workaround, this seems to work:https://community.spiceworks.com/top...tom-page-range
I had to specify my print range with the following format
pXsY where Y is the section number and X is the page number with in that section ex. p4s7 is the fourth page in section 7 of the document. according to the dialog box this can be done with specific page numbers as well as page ranges ie. p2s4, p3s4, p4s4 or p2s4 - p4s4.

Thanks Percy. I will give that a try. Been looking for something free since Microsoft stopped me using theirs.
