Printing a specific page

I have a document in which each chapter begins with page 1. I want to print a single page in the middle of the document. How can I identify which logical page I'm looking at? Or, taking another approach, is there a way to tell Nisus Writer Express to print the page containing the insertion point (Print Current Page)? If there isn't a way to do this now, I propose this as a feature request.

Hi Craig. Unfortunately there's currently no easy way to know the logical/physical page number for any particular bit of text.
What about this as a proposed feature to fix your issue: if you clicked the "Page X of Y" label in the status bar a popup menu would appear that would allow you to switch the page numbers between "logical" and "user" page numbers. Does that sound like a good solution, or do you really just want a "print current page" menu?

It seems like that would be a useful bit of functionality to add, even if you did decide to put in a "Print Current Page" command. I know I would use that, at least occasionally, and having that toggled right there where I already look makes sense.

That would help, but I would still prefer a "print current page" radio button in the print dialog (not a menu item). I see it fitting naturally under Pages:
( ) All
( ) From: ___ to ___
( ) Current page
I'd even like to see an option that lets the user print non-continuous pages by typing numbers separated by hyphens or commas (e.g., "1,4-6"). I used this more than you might think with WordPerfect. Your suggestion would be very useful in conjunction with that.
( ) List of pages __________
I don't know whether you can modify that first page of the print dialog since it seems to be an system-wide thing. If not, something on the Nisus tab/pane of the print dialog would be better than nothing.
