We have a gazillion multipage blank P.O. forms that we want to use up.
We layed out a form in Word (2000) to fit the blank, however, when you
seperate the P.O. pages they curl and cause feed problems for the printer.
Is there any way to flip the word doc upside down so the P.O. pages could be
loaded from the bottom (clean edge)?

Unless your printer driver supports automatic rotation of the page, it
isn't going to be easy to do this. The article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm discusses a
number of methods, but none of them are simple enough to recommend to
you.

Hi Foster:

There is a way, but it's a lot of fiddling around.

Basically, you copy each page, then EditPaste SpecialPicture. You can
then flip the picture.

I think, however, you may be able to achieve your result by simply printing
in "Reverse Order".

Have a look in ToolsOptionsPrint for "Print in reverse order"

That puts the last page out first: will that do it?

Cheers
