Duplexing part of a document
I am doing a set of merge documents. I would like to combine them, so they
are all collated and ready to send. I have a one page letter and a three page survey. I combined them into one document. This is what I am trying to do: 1. Print the first page on letterhead, and the rest on plain paper -- no problem there; 2. Print the next three pages duplex -- big problem here. I can't get the duplex to do just part of the document. If I have to have the two items in separate documents, I will have to manually collate them. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help. |

Duplexing is a printer option rather than something set in the Word page
setup dialog.

Thank's. I was afraid of that.

Why not have the first letter print duplexed also? Just have the second
sheet a blank page. You should be able to do that easily with section breaks and not have to do returns to the bottom. I do that all the time on my Laserjet.

We did think of that. I think I will try that.

You *may* be able to achieve this with PRINT fields on the relevant pages to
switch duplex on and off - if your printer driver accepts PCL commands. 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" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LynninMinnesota wrote: I am doing a set of merge documents.

I set it up to duplex the whole document, and put in a blank page with a
section break. It accomplished what I was trying to do. Thanks. "Don" wrote: Why not have the first letter print duplexed also? Just have the second sheet a blank page.
