Large document will not print past page 32
I am preparing a large document with a new section for each page so I can alter the Headers and Footers individually.
The document will print from page 1 - 32 but will not print anything past page 33. Help?? |

It is very unusual to need a new section for each page. First, each section can have up to three different headers and footers. Second, the same header/footer can appear different on different pages using the StyleRef Field.
Are you telling the entire document to print and it stops after page 32, or are you telling certain pages to print? How many sections do you have? |

I'm sure it is unusual to have that many sections. I am "self-taught" and that was how I got it to work in my instance. Thank you for suggesting other options. I will research that.
I am telling it to print page 33-40 and it will not communicate with the printer. I uninstalled and installed my printer driver last night and today it will print the entire document, but not specific pages past page 33. I even copied and pasted the entire document into a new file because I have been using this file and updating it each year for 3 years now. Thinking maybe there was just too many messages buried in the file and it needed a clean slate??? (desperate measures in desperate circumstances ) The entire document is 57 pages (booklet size) with 109 sections. |

Each section adds tremendous complexity to a document. Among other things, each section has three headers and three footers even though none of them may be displayed.
You've run into part of that complexity. Generally, when printing a range of pages across multiple sections you have to give a beginning page and section and an ending page and section. You need to know the page number and section number of the starting and ending pages. Instead of typing 35-42 in the range, you type p35s23-p42s46. You'll have to experiment. Seriously, look into the StyleRef field. |

I agree that it would be worth seeing if the large number of sections can be minimized. If the point of the footers is to keep certain information at the bottom of the pages, perhaps a two cell table could be used, with one large cell for most of the data and a "footer" cell. Or three cells if there is a header also.
For trouble shooting you could delete sections (working with a copy) and see if the problem goes away. If it does, or if there is a change to the number of pages you can print, it could be that there was corruption or some other anomaly in the deleted section. It may be possible to narrow it down that way. You may have tried some detective work already, but I'll suggest it just in case. I have known a single issue to ripple through an entire document. |
