Printing Alternate Pages
I have a large document (296 pages) and I want to print every other page on
to headed paper. So page 1 goes to one cassette page 2 to another and this repeats etc. Is this possible and how? |

Printing Alternate Pages
If this is a merged letter document then if the merge source document had a
different first page tray setting in page setup then that information should be retained, but the printer will probably require you to send each letter as a separate print job. Fellow MVP Doug Robbins has produced a macro for this which you will find listed under the heading Split a merged document to the printer with each 'letter' treated as a separate print task at http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm For other documents, the following macro should work. Note that the tray ID numbers are printer specific. See http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm which explains how to establish the tray ID numbers for your printer - replace the tray IDs in the following macro as necessary: Sub TwoTrays() Dim sTray As Integer sTray = Options.DefaultTrayID Dim sPage As Long With ActiveDocument Selection.EndKey wdStory For i = 1 To Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber) sPage = i Mod 2 If sPage = 1 Then Options.DefaultTrayID = 261 'Set the odd page trayID number here Else Options.DefaultTrayID = 260 'Set the even page trayID number here End If ActiveDocument.PrintOut _ Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, _ Pages:=format(i), _ Copies:=1 Next i Options.DefaultTrayID = sTray End With End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joe Perfiry wrote: I have a large document (296 pages) and I want to print every other page on to headed paper.

Printing Alternate Pages
Hi Graham,
Thanks for your input. No it is not a merge document. It is a simple 296 page document with every other page needing to be plain. Every other headed. So if you like odd plain and even headed. Hence the need for different trays. Does this macro work therefore? "Joe Perfiry" wrote: I have a large document (296 pages) and I want to print every other page on to headed paper.

Could you perhaps put the information that's on the "headed" paper
into a header within the document itself? The company logo, or whatever it is that needs to be repeated? (Use "Different Odd and Even" headers.)

If it actually alternates predictably, you could print all the odd pages,
then the even pages. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Joe Perfiry" wrote in message ... Hi Graham, Thanks for your input.

I have not tested it with your printer, but it should work if you insert the
correct tray code numbers where indicated. It treats each page as a separate print job and directs that page to the appropriate tray depending on whether the page number is odd or even. Try it with a smaller document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joe Perfiry wrote: Hi Graham, Thanks for your input.
