Portrait/ Landscape documents printing problem
I'm trying to set up a document (an audit report) that has both
portrait and landscape pages and will be duplex printed. On screen this looks fine, but when I print it out Word appears to assume that the pages will be stapled/ bound on the long side for portrait pages (correct) and the short side for landscape (incorrect) within the same document. The effect is that if you staple the report together the landscaped section has the tops of two facing pages together making it difficult to read as you have to keep turning it upside down. I know that at a previous employer we got this to work (so the bottom and top of opposing pages are joined), but I don't know how. I've a funny feeling this was an issue with the printer/ printer driver rather than Word. The printer we're using is an HP4050N with a duplex unit if that's relevant. Ideally we want people to read this on screen (being green and all that), but inevitably people will want to print this, so it needs to look good on paper too. I'm using Word 2000 on Win XP. I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows how to solve this problem. I've tried playing around with mirror margins and gutters, but with no success. A case of 'what you see is not what you get' :-) Thanx, David |

Portrait/ Landscape documents printing problem
There should be a setting in your printer Properties that determines how the
second side of duplexed pages is flipped (long side or short side). -- Suzanne S.
