page numbers and printing

I have a rather lengthy document divided into several sections, and in each
section, the page numbers start over from 1. I need to print part of the last
section, but when I type the pages I need into the Print box, it prints the
pages from the first section. I also tried using the actual page numbers, but
since those are beyond the numbers in any section, nothing printed. Copying
it to another file won't work, either, since I have bookmarks with page
references.

You can specify the absolute page numbers, shown in the status bar when you
select within the page, or use the form 'pxsy' where y is the section number
and x is the page within the section. Eg to print pages 2-4 from section 6,
use p2s6-p4s6.

FWIW, I've never had much luck with the absolute numbers.

I think numbering each section separately is a silly idea, too.

Agreed, but I do number front matter in books separately when there is
enough of it to matter. That is, if there are just a half-title and title
page before the book begins, I won't bother, but if in addition there are a
TOC, a list of illustrations, a preface, etc., then I'll roman-number the
front matter and start the main text at 1.

If you have sections that may need to be updated independently of the others,
it seems to me that you would not want to re-number all succesive sections.
