Another plan is to set up a second 'printer' using the same driver, with its
options set to print duplex. You can then choose whether to print duplex or
not simply by selecting the appropriate 'printer'. Use the method suggested
at
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to print to the required version
without having to go through menu options.

If your printer driver does offer this function, it will be switched
off by default - check the printer properties from the print options
and set the required option.
This will of course make the printer print everything double sided.
If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT
field. A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to
send instructions directly to the printer.
There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S"
simplex PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal
duplex (bookformat)
The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand,
lowercase L, 0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a
double quote.
Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }

the printer has got the facility to print double sided.
i have gone into word - print - options
i cant find the section to do duplex printing, there is a section:
options for duplex printing which has a tick box front or back of
sheet but i still have to manually get up and go the printer and put
the paper back in the paper tray.
is there any way of avoiding manually turning the paper over?

Your printer has to be able to do this of course.
Otherwise print the odd pages, turn the paper over and print the
even pages on the backs
