Printing specific pages in a merged document

I created a merge document and have saved the file.  I am able to print the entire document, but unable to print "current page" or a selected number of pages, ie: 1,5,9,13.  I have tried different printers and computers to no avail.  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Thank you

Answer

If this is a Letter- or Label-type merge, then each letter (each page if they're one-page letters) or each sheet of labels will be a separate section, starting at page 1. To print specific letters, put the section numbers in the Pages box, e.g. s1,s5,s9,s13.

You can get the section numbers from the status bar; if you don't see SECTION: # on the status bar (which you won't by default), then right-click on the status bar and click on "Section" to add it.

You may well also want to add "Formatted Page Number," as that is the number you need to use when you are printing pages from specific sections (the number given in PAGE # OF # is the continuous page number out of the total number of pages and is useless when numbering is restarted in any section).
