Can't Print Range of Pages in Word 2010

Question
-
I can't print a range of pages from a 102-page Word 2010 mail merged document. Word starts printing all of the pages before I cancel the print job.
I have the same problem in both the .doc and docx formats.

You need to specify the Section number of the "pages" that you want to print by inserting s before the number
s1, s3, s7-s10 etc.

That resolved my problem. I was able to print the desired range using s97-s102 or s1,s46 etc.
Thanks,

The answer is helpful; the behavior of Microsoft Word in requiring section number to be identified when trying to print a range of pages is, however, anything but. I've wasted a lot of time and paper with this.
