Double sided merge & duplex print
I've been searching for hours and can't figure this out!
I need to layout two unique 4x6 postcards on an 8.5x11 sheet with different text on the backside. Side 1 has a return address and the recipient address. Side 2 has dear recipient first name and one or two unique merge fields along with non-merged text and an image. I'm merging from Excel and each record is on a single line. The final merged doc needs to be page 1 - the first two postcards, page 2 - the back side of the first two postcards, page 3 - the third and fourth postcards, page 4 - the back side of the third and fourth postcards, etc. I can't get side 2 to populate from Excel. I thought about just making two docs and print side one then side two on the backside, but I need to duplex the print job so I can't. Thanks for the help! kj |

Double sided merge & duplex print
The following code was put together for someone who wanted to compile a
document by taking alternate pages from separate files. If you were to execute two separate mail merges to individual documents, you could use this code to then combine them into one. Dim sourcea As Document, sourceb As Document, target As Document, Pages As Integer, Counter As Integer, targetrange As Range 'targetrange added Dim evenpage As Range Set sourcea = Documents.Open(FileName:="...") sourcea.Repaginate Pages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yPages) MsgBox Pages Set sourceb = Documents.Open(FileName:="...") Set target = Documents.Add target.PageSetup.LeftMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.LeftMargin target.PageSetup.RightMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.RightMargin target.PageSetup.TopMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.TopMargin target.PageSetup.BottomMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.BottomMargin target.AcceptAllRevisions Counter = 0 While Counter Pages sourcea.Activate ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy Set targetrange = target.Range targetrange.Start = targetrange.End targetrange.Paste ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Cut sourceb.Activate 'Assumed to be the document containing the even pages Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'Line of code added to start from the end of the document ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy Set targetrange = target.Range targetrange.Start = targetrange.End targetrange.Paste targetrange.Start = targetrange.End targetrange.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak Set evenpage = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range evenpage.Start = evenpage.Start - 1 evenpage.Delete Counter = Counter + 1 Wend sourcea.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges sourceb.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges -- Hope this helps.

Double sided merge & duplex print
Execute each merge to a new document, save (I would call one "front" and the
other "back") and close each one, then run the macro and it will ask you to open each one in turn. -- Hope this helps.

I'm afraid I don't know where to begin to run the macro.
