Hi there,

I have a 3 page document that I am merging with 100 records. I print all
letters double sided, the problem is that the 1st page of the second letter
goes on the back of the 3rd page of the first letter and so on.

How do I get it to print so that the 1st and 2nd pages are double sided but
the 3rd isn't?

Hope that makes sense!

Many Thanks

Andy

I know that this isn't the right answer but...
I don't you simple make an 4th page with nothing write?
It makes sense if you don't have nothing to write... and the word will
'print' nothing in the back of the third page, and then goes to another
page... hehe, just a trick ;]

Hi Tiago,

Nice trick and a good idea! However I just can't believe that there isn't a
way to do this properly. Can anyone else help at all?

Regards

Andy

Execute the merge to a new document and then use the following macro to do
the printing

Dim i as Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 to .Sections.Count
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next
End With

Each letter will then be sent to the printer as a separate print job, which
should overcome your problem.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug,

I had a feeling it would be a macro. Works brilliantly!
