Default How can I use a form to select specific documents to print.

I have created a large document consisting of a user fillable form at the
beginning followed by about 8 different documents . The user fillable form
has over 50 bookmarked fields--dates, text, dropdowns--which is about two
pages when blank and can swell to three or four pages. The 8 documents that
follow applies the data from the form as direct references to the form (data
that does not change such as client name, address, etc) and data that is
manipulated (using if statements and formulas). Because the data entered can
change in length, the documents that follow also change in length. I want to
be able to select the completed form and one (or more) of the 8 documents
generated for printing, without having to print the entire file (form and
documents) or scroll the whole file to identify what pages I want to print.
Workable possibilities include separating the documents to then be called in
my form for filling in and printing, or macros that find the start and end of
the document I want and sending it to the printer.

Divide your document in Sections by inserting Section Breaks and then
specify the Sections that you want to print by using the notation s# in the
same way that you specify pages to be printed using p#

Thank you very much Doug. This worked fine. It took me a little while to
find out how to define a section, but it was worth the wait.
Regards,
Gouved
