MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / December 2004Printing in reverse order
I have printed out nearly 500 letters to be mailed out using mailmerge and publisher. I would like to not run them through the printer again and print address info on the reverse side so they can be run through a folding machine and mailed out. PROBLEM: the list and the pages are in reverse order and since I merged personal info on one side, the address side must correspond. Can publisher print out in reverse? I have tried copies from 500 - 1 but it still print from 1 - 500. The original list was not sorted in any manner, it was exported from a database. Suggestions please... TIA Restack the paper? But if the printer picked up two sheets at the same time.... I don't want to think about it. If it were me I think would either use envelopes or reprint the batch using a double sided printing operation.

I hate to reprint because it was a laser color print job and that does not come cheap for me. Live and learn I guess... Thanks for the suggestion. > Restack the paper?

I don't understand... I have Office 2003. If you go to scansoft.com and get the PDF Importer for Word, it's also compatible with Publisher 2002/2003. There will be some formatting loss though.

I can import the pdf of the addresses into Pub, but it is covered with diagonal lines and I don't see how this would allow me to import the different fields anyway. Maybe I'm not following here. >> Pub doesn't seem to know what a pdf is... Thanks for the idea though >> Mike. > > Publisher stand alone cannot import PDFs.

Brian, Who cares about importing a pdf? Output the addresses as a pdf, then use Reader to reverse the print order. Let's not make this complicated! Mike >>Pub doesn't seem to know what a pdf is... Thanks for the idea though >>Mike. > > Publisher stand alone cannot import PDFs. OK, I am creating a new report of the addresses in the format I need to export to a pdf. Why would my report only pickup every 4th entry when my query that I am creating the report from has all entries? > Brian, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> Publisher stand alone cannot import PDFs. Mike! Got it to work and it worked wonderfully! Thank you so much for the idea! Pat > Brian, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> Publisher stand alone cannot import PDFs. Hello Patrick; Have you checked "Properties> Layout> Page Order" in your print dialog box? I think it would depend on your printer/driver whether you have that option, but both of mine have it. How reliable is that printer at separating sheets? Good Luck, IanRoy > I had thought about restacking... what a pain!
