Still did the same thing.

Except that the auto stapler stapled it on the right side (manga style).
(at least is stapled it in the gutter) ;-}

What happens if you reverse the print order?

Stefan:

Thanks for the reply.

Already had the diff odd and even set. Applied the mirror margins and
added a gutter margin. Pages display perfectly on screen (gutter on
left side of odd pages, right side of even pages) but still prints
page 1 on the back of the cover sheet but keeps the gutters as set
(binding is on the non-gutter edge).

any other suggestions?

I did think that it could be an issue with the printer driver, so i
printed it to PDF using the Acrobat Distiller. Acts the same way.

Thanks

Ed

Check the "Mirror margins" or "Different odd and even" option in the
Page Setup dialog box. That should make Word insert filler pages
correctly.

To display the Page Setup dialog box:

- Click File | Page Setup (Word 2003).

- On the Page Layout tab, click the dialog launcher button (on the
bottom right) in the Page Setup group (Word 2007).

"Mirror margins" is in the "Multiple pages" list on the Margins tab,
and "Different odd and even" is on the Layout tab.

Hey all;

Need help getting the pages in my duplexed document to print where i
want them. here is the scenario.

Multi page document with cover page that i want to duplex print.

When i click print it places page 1 on the back of the cover page
(not where it should be).

So, I added a section break that starts on the first odd page. looks
good in word. Starts with cover page and 1 blank page in section 1,
the rest of the document, starting on page 1, in section 2. so i
click print. what i get this time is my cover page (blank on the
back, yay) then a blank page with page 1 on the back (w...t...f). i
seem to remember that in previous versions of word, there was a
checkbox or something that specified that odd pages would print on
the right side of a book. word would take care of the rest.

I have had to resort to printing the document in sections (cover page
by itself, then the rest of the ducument without the cover page).

does anyone know how to get my document to print properly???

thanks in advance.

Ed
