Maybe you just need a page or maybe even just a section or two. If that is all you need, why are you printing the entire document? Here are a few ways you can save paper and money! To begin, you'll need to go to the Print window (File menu, Print choice or Ctrl + P). In the Page Range section, you'll find a few choices. By default, the All choice will be selected, but you could change it to: Current page - which will print only the page where the cursor is currently located. Or… Selection - which prints whatever text was highlighted before you went to the Print window. Or… Below that, you'll find the Pages option. Here, you can enter a combination of information to get Word to print exactly what you want – nothing more and nothing less. To print whole pages, you can request them by page number. 2 will print only page two of the document. 2, 5 will print only pages two and five of the document. 3-8 will print only pages three through eight of the document. 3, 4-7 will print only pages three and four through seven. You get the idea! Now go print just what you need!
