--- Comment #3 from Gérard Talbot ---
I went to
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
and then downloaded the document GS52-GettingStartedLO.odt (21 Mega-Bytes) and
this is what they say (in chapter 10, section Controlling printing, page 293,
subsection Selecting pages/sheets/slides to print in Writer)
"
Printing a range of pages:
1) Choose File > Print from the Menu bar, or press Ctrl+P.
2) On the Print dialog, select the range of pages to print.
a) In the Range and copies section of the General page, select the Pages
option.
b) Enter the sequence numbers of the pages to print (for example, 1–4 or
1,3,7,11).
"
I think that quoted text could be a bit improved. Range require an hyphen "-"
(but the helpfile is actually using another character, not an hyphen) and
non-contiguous pages require a comma (or semicolon?). And pages to print can
define both a range and a list of contiguous pages.
"
Printing a range of pages:
1) Choose File > Print from the Menu bar, or press Ctrl+P.
2) On the Print dialog, select the range of pages to print.
a) In the Range and copies section of the General page, select the Pages
option.
b) If you want to print a range of pages, then use a hyphen ("-") between the
first and last. For example, 2-5 will print only pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 only.
If you want to print a list of non-contiguous pages, then use a comma (",") to
separate each pages. For example, 7,11 will print only pages 7 and 11.
If you want to print a range a pages and a list of non-contiguous pages, then
combine both. For example, 2-5,7,11 will print only pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11.
"
and I would add a screen shot similar to 1370030148857273.png but considerably
smaller where we would see 2-5,7,11 in the input text control.
Also, I think the helpfiles everywhere should mention that both comma and
semicolon can be used to separate sub-sequence of pages. Otherwise, one of the
2 should be dropped.

Regina,
If you select the option "pages", set the cursor into the field and press
Ctrl+F1, you will *not* get the extended tip if info-balloon
(Tools/Options.../LibreOffice/General/Help/Info-balloon) is unchecked.
Additionally, if info-balloon is unchecked, then hovering the mouse over the
info-balloon label (and its checkbox) will not reveal, will not disclose the
contextual help text about how useful/helpful this info-balloon can be (maybe
this should be a bug by itself).
I do get the extended help, contextual help if/when I have info-balloon checked
and when my mouse cursor hovers over the pages input text box (without
Ctrl+F1).
Regarding info-balloon, the local help files state: "Pour afficher un
infoballon, appuyez sur Maj+F1 et pointez vers un bouton ou une commande."
which I can translate to:
"To display an info-balloon, press Shift+F1 and point to a button or command."
No mention of Ctrl+F1. I just tried Shift+F1 and it works: the cursor changes
from a white arrow into a white arrow with a question mark ("?") on its
righthand side and a contextual, extended help text is displayed when hovering
text labels and/or form controls.
Please note that ";" (semicolon) is used in the extended tip while I
successfully use "," (comma).

I did not know of Ctrl+F1. I never thought of using Ctrl+F1.
- - - - - - -
Regina,
Just to be clear... my bug report is not formally looking for answers or
assistance,... although I appreciate your Ctrl+F1 feedback. I am for tuning,
updating or adding current local help files (via F1) if some useful explanation
is missing.
