My system has been upgraded to microsoft WORD 2003 and EXCEL 2003. I used to
be able to do two-sided printing in the previous versions. The nearest thing
i can find to that now is manual duplex printing which is only available in
WORD 2003 and I am having difficuties with it. Because of the nature of the
message displayed with this feature, i can't work another document until all
pages have been printed on one side, and I have turned them over and put them
back in the printer.
Has anyone found out:
1. how to do two sided printing when working in EXCEL 2003?
2. how to work on one document while printing another using the manual
duplex feature?

Duplexing is a printer setting. If your printer is capable of duplex
printing, there will be a setting in the printer Properties.

before my system was upgraded to the 2003 suite of programs, two-sided
printing did not depend the type of printer I had. Whenever I wanted to print
a document from any program, I pressed control-p and selected the properties
option, from there I was able to access an option that asked if i wanted two
sided printing. Whenever this option was selected, all odd numbered pages
would be printed starting from the back. I would then get a message and a
picture showing me how to reinsert the printed pages in the printer
(depending on whether I had chosen book or tablet format when selecting the
two-sided option) so that printing could continue on the other side of the
paper. This message could be minimized until I was ready to continue
printing. IN the upgraded system this option has disappeared from the
properties option when control p is pressed. The nearest thing I can find to
it is the manual duplex option that is only available when I'm using Word
2003, and which does not function in the same way that the two-sided printing
option used to function. Isn't there any feature in the 2003 program suite
that can imitate the two-sided printing feature from the previous version?

When you click Properties in the Print dialog, you are accessing the
controls for the selected printer. These have nothing to do with Word.
Unless you have changed printers (or printer drivers), you should have the
exact same printer Properties in Word 2003.

I have a hp 845c printer. Can it have more than 1 printer driver?

It wa a printer driver problem. Apparently When my system was being upgraded
the original printer driver that came with HP deskjet 845c printer was
erased. It happens that my operating system which is windows xp has a printer
driver of a similiar name, for that printer, but it does not work like the
original. I had to reload a printer driver from the hp website. Thanks
