How do I print only a section of a document in Word?

Hi @Jan Sanderson, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Thank you for reaching out. I understand you'd like to print only a specific section of your Word document. 

Here’s how you can do it: 

Option 1 - Print selected text 

If you want to print only a portion of the document that you’ve selected: 

1. Open your Word document. 
2. Highlight the section of text you want to print. 
3. Go to File > Print. 
4. Under Settings, click the drop-down menu that usually says "Print All Pages". 
5. Select "Print Selection". 
6. Click Print. 

This method works best when you want to print a paragraph, a few pages, or any non-continuous section you can manually select. 

Option 2 - Print specific pages 

If the section you want to print spans specific pages: 

1. Go to File > Print. 
2. Under Settings, click the drop-down next to "Print All Pages". 
3. Choose "Custom Print". 
4. In the Pages box, enter the page numbers you want to print (e.g., 2-4 to print pages 2 through 4). 
5. Click Print. 

You can also enter non-consecutive pages like 2, 4, 6 if needed. 

Option 3 - Copy to a new document 

If the section is complex or includes specific formatting: 

1. Select and copy the section you want to print. 
2. Open a new Word document. 
3. Paste the content. 
4. Save the new document. 
5. Print it as usual.
