Default Printing Selected Pages from Multiple Documents

Not considering the problem of pages from multiple files, you don't need to manually reverse the pages before you print the back sides; just set the Print dialog to Reverse Order.

Note, though, that you _can_ mix different headers and different orientations in the same document, so long as each change happens in a new Section (Page Layout Breaks Section Break New Page). You may have to recreate the headers because you'll have to start at the beginning and mark each new section header "Do Not Continue from Previous Section." If they're messed up, just have the original open nearby and copy-paste the header contents from the original to the combined document.

Hi All,



Is there a way to print specific pages from selected documents without
opening any of the documents. I do know in advance which pages I want.



I have a number of handouts of which I want to print some as a job lot.
The documents are on the whole composed of double-sided pages, some with
multiple double-sided pages. I cannot put all of these documents into a
single document because the headers/footers are completely different for
each document; furthermore some are portrait and some are landscape. My
printer cannot print double-sided so I print, for example, pages 1,3,5
and then reinsert them in reverse order in the printer and print 2,4,6
which gives me the right sequence. This takes forever, particularly if
I am printing a full set of handouts. I want to be able to type a
single command which will print all the pages I want in the correct
order and then when I've reinserted them, print the reverse pages.



Hopefully that gives some idea of what I want to do. Any suggestions?
If you can help I will be most grateful.



Thanks in advance
