force double-sided printing Word 2003
Is it possible to save printing options in a Word 2003 template so that the
default print mode is double-sided? |

Duplexing is a function of the printer, not the document. If you could set
the printer ID and duplexing property in a doc, what would happen if you opened the doc on a system that didn't have that printer available? Probably there's a way in VBA to enumerate the available printers, determine if any have duplex capability, and setting the properties accordingly - but the coding would not be trivial, not something you could record with the Macro recorder. -- TedMi |

Thanks, tedmi.
The small group (4 or 5) who will use this template will do so on the same network (in fact, the template is shared on the network), using the same printer. Does that make a difference and how do I look more deeply into this option? "tedmi" wrote: Duplexing is a function of the printer, not the document.

The following article mentions API programming, and also discusses a workaround (install a second printer driver where duplex is set as per default).
