[comp.windows.ms] Winword...simple questions..

How do you cancel printing in draft mode?  I tried escape...
can't figure out how to do it.  When in the manual does it give
instructions, I can't find it (I have pocket guide and ms press book).

Table of contents.  Too bad it doesn't include the actual number of
pages that the table of contents itself takes.  I have to manually
set chapter 1 to begin at page 1 (new section) when my toc is 4 pages.
Is this correct?

Printing from page N to M.  I have a 4 page toc, 1 page title page so
chapter 1, logical page 1, starts at physical page 6.  If I select the
mouse on the screen, I see page 30 in the status bar.  But if I start
printing from page 30 to 40, it is not the same page 30!  This is
somewhat inconsistent.  Right?

Oh well, I still like it, even though I had to sit through a 60 page
accidental print request!!!(couldn't escape it)  What happened to
    AbortDocProc anyway.

To print a range of pages in WfW you just specify from and to.  Things get sticky if you have different sections, as I assume you would in your case.
Section 1 = Title page
Section 2 = Table of contents
Section 3 = Document.
So to print the first four pages of the third section, you would enter the
range as: P1S3 to P4S3 (this is on page 277 of the Users Ref)

I just uploaded a packet of WfW macros to Cica.Indiana that contains a macro to print a range of ranges:
1, 2-4, P3S3-P10S3, all at the same time
The macro also allows you to print only even or only odd pages...

Hope this helps.
