forcing duplex printing
Only if you know that the user has a duplex printer. Otherwise the document
will print two pages. 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" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cameron wrote: hi, i am tryhing to find a way to ensure that the users of a particular document print the document double sided (so they don't forget the 2nd page). is there a way within word that i am able to specify this? thanks |

forcing duplex printing
hi,
firstly, thankyou for the tip, i appreciate the time you have taken to respond to my query. Secondly, how do I implement the print field? all users print to the same printer, so there is no real issue in that regard.
