Printing odd paged documents...
Hi there,
I have a 3 page document that I am merging with 100 records. I print all letters double sided, the problem is that the 1st page of the second letter goes on the back of the 3rd page of the first letter and so on. How do I get it to print so that the 1st and 2nd pages are double sided but the 3rd isn't? Hope that makes sense! Many Thanks Andy |

I know that this isn't the right answer but... I don't you simple make an 4th page with nothing write? It makes sense if you don't have nothing to write... and the word will 'print' nothing in the back of the third page, and then goes to another page... hehe, just a trick ;] "ajayb" escreveu: Hi there, I have a 3 page document that I am merging with 100 records.

Printing odd paged documents...
Hi Tiago,
Nice trick and a good idea! However I just can't believe that there isn't a way to do this properly. Can anyone else help at all?

Execute the merge to a new document and then use the following macro to do
the printing Dim i as Long With ActiveDocument For i = 1 to .Sections.Count .PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i Next End With Each letter will then be sent to the printer as a separate print job, which should overcome your problem. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug,
I had a feeling it would be a macro. Works brilliantly!
