If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT field.
A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions
directly to the printer.
There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex
PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex
(bookformat)
The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L,
0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote.
Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }
Otherwise the duplex option would be set from the printer driver properties.

It is intriguing that you used the term 'copier' - if you're actually
able to print directly to a copier that does double-sided
photocopying that is *not necessarily* the same as Duplex printing.
Duplex printing is a feature of the printing device, not Word. Check
the settings for the printer to see if they are (or can be)
appropriately configured for what you are trying to do.

I would like to be able to duplex my bulletin direct from Word to the
copier.
When I do this one page faces one way and the reverse page is the
opposite.
How do I get them facing the same way without printing each side then
turning
the paper around and printing the other side?
