To clarify: changing trays does *not* require a section break. You can set a
different tray for the first page on the Paper or Paper Source tab of Page Setup. But you'll still get the behavior you complain of. Only a section break will allow you to get around that. -- Suzanne S.

Concerning Word's handling of the "different first page" under duplex printing: my document is not a letter, but a list of customers which, when printed, has to have the company logo on the first page. I still believe that Word should better correlate duplex printing with other settings, such as tray selection, in order to provide a behavior which is logical and consistent. In my case, the unpleasant part was that changing trays needs a section break, and a section break cuts the text flow between pages (in my case it was a table, which is cut in two), which is bad when one has to add/delete text afterwards. Anyway, many thanks for your help Alex On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 12:13:42 -0600, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Oooh, bummer! You can see the logic of that: "duplex" is telling the printer, "Print page 2 on the back of the page 1 you just printed," but selecting a different paper tray is telling Word, "Everything after page 1 comes from a different tray." The only way I can think of to get around this (obviously not practical for large quantities or network printers--doable only by people like me who have a desktop printer within arm's reach) is to take all the paper from the same tray and just make up sets of one letterhead sheet followed by one second sheet (which is what I do, using the MP tray on my LaserJet for letterhead). To look at it another way, though, it is not customary in normal business practice to duplex letters, so Word's handling of this is not entirely unreasonable. |
