Section break- Continuous problem

I have a legal document and page 1-3 are section 1 of the document. However, in the middle of page three, I have put a section break - continuous because a different format and text box follows. This makes this section, section 2. At the end of section 2, I have another section break, but this one is section break - next page. Thus continuing the docuement on the 4th page section 3. The problem is that there are times that the users will need to print only sections 1 and 3 and not section2. However, Word is printing all sections even though I specifically instructed to print only s1,s3.

Can anybody help me?

Hi Chantz

The print function can't print less than a whole page, regardless of
what you tell it about section numbers.

What you can do is change the font color of section 2 to white so it's
invisible to the printer, print the whole document, and then undo the
color change. To automate this, add the following macro to the
template (I hope you're making a template and not just a document).

Sub Print_NotSec2()
With ActiveDocument
.Sections(2).Range.Font.Color = wdColorWhite
.PrintOut Background:=False
.Undo
End With
End Sub

Then add a button to the toolbar to run the macro, for the times when
section 2 should be suppressed.
