How to Print Only Specific Pages in Word

Tap each step to see how to print only specific pages in Word.

  1. Click File, then Print

    Click the File tab at the top of Word, then select Print from the left-hand menu.

  2. Find the Pages field under Settings

    In the print settings screen, look for the empty field labeled Pages.

  3. Enter the page numbers or range you want

    Type a single page like "3," a range like "2-5," or several pages separated by commas like "1,3,7."

  4. Check the pages in the preview, then print

    Confirm in the preview pane on the right that the correct pages are selected, then click Print.

  5. Why it helps

    When you only need a handful of pages from a long document, entering the exact page numbers lets you print just those pages instead of printing everything and discarding the rest.

Printing an entire document when you only need a few pages?

Printing all fifty pages of a report when you only actually need page three wastes both paper and ink. Entering the exact page numbers in the Pages field lets you print only the parts you need.

Also worth learning: printing an envelope in Word

For situations where you need to prepare mail alongside your document, Word also has a dedicated tool for formatting and printing envelopes directly, which is worth knowing about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print only odd or even pages?

Yes. In the dropdown that defaults to "Print All Pages," choosing "Print Odd Pages Only" or "Print Even Pages Only" does exactly that.

How do I specify pages in a document split into sections?

For documents with multiple sections, you can combine a section number and page number, such as "p3s2," to print a specific page within a specific section.
