Word 2k

My problems not with the mailmerge itself but with printing it. I want to
print the first page of the merge simplex and the next two pages duplex. I
can't find out how to do this. It's either all simplex or all duplex. Is this
possible? I don't really want to go down the route of writing code for it.
Any help would be appriciated!!

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" }
