But I Don't Want To Print The Whole File!
from www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/1137

   Have you ever found yourself trying to print only a few pages of a long file? Maybe you made changes to only one page and need just it--not the other 42. Sound like a familiar situation? If your answer is "Yes!" then here's the solution to your problems.

   Next time you go to print and need only a portion of the file use the File menu, Print choice. Take a good look at the Print window.

   See the section on the left--in the bottom/ middle section?

   Here it is--you do have an option!
   
  • By default, the All choice is selected. To print only the page with the cursor on it, select Current Page and then click OK

  •    
  • To print several non-consecutive pages list the page numbers separated by commas. For example: to print pages 1, 3 and 7 you would type 1,3,7 in the Pages field then click OK.

  •    
  • To print a range of pages type the first page to be printed, then a hyphen, then the last page to be printed. For example: to print pages 2 through 7 you would type 2-7 in the Pages field then click OK.
  •    
  • The Page field box will also let you mix the non-consecutive method with the range of pages. For example: to print pages 3,7 though 9 and 12 simply type 3, 7-9, 12 in the Pages field and click OK.
