    Creating files for different parts of a mail merged word doc

    Hi

    So I've done a mail merge where I've got 50, two page letters resulting in 100 pages all together. I want to save pages 1-2 to a seperate file and save different parts of it to different files or I want to be able to print just pages 1 and 2 only. However when I specify 1,2 in print preview it reads the whole file as pages 1 and 2 and so prints all the pages.

    This could be really simple but I'm not sure what the solution is.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's not clear whether you want to save or print the pages. Since you're presumably using a Letter merge, you need to specify which letter to print by its Section #. For example, instead of using 1-2 or 1,2, use s1. Or, to print the first page of the 3rd letter you'd use p1s3.

    Thanks for the help. I've now solved the issue.
