How do I ensure correct duplex printing?
I'm new to Word; longtime Mac user.
How do I ensure correct duplex printing (double-side printing) of my document? I want even-numbered page 2 to print on reverse of odd-numbered page 1, and so forth. Document apparently displays correctly on screen. I'm using mirrored layout; odd and even pages have correct margins with a gutter allowance; page numbers, and headers/footers appear at outside of page. It is set to Different first page, Different odd and even pages. When printing, first spits out single-sided page 1 (like a cover page), then remainder with even pages with their following odd pages on the reverse, collated in reverse as expected, ending with pages 2 and 3. That is, page 3 is on reverse of 2 instead of 2 on reverse of 1. I clearly have some setting wrong somewhere, but where? (using Word v.15.35,, with OS Sierra 10.12.5) |

It sounds as if you have an even-page section break following your cover page.
Try using an odd-page section break. Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word (Ribbon Versions) |

Thank you so much Charles. That did the trick. Actually, it was a continuous section break at the very bottom of page 1. I see that continuous needs to be inside a single page, not between. I am also deeply appreciative for the extremely helpful link to the lesson on section breaks and header/footers, as well as other links. I really needed that information. I did not know all that that material is out there. I was just struggling along trying to guess what to do from the limited material accessible through the Help menu. I really appreciate this. I have a long way to go, as I'll be needing to generate TOC, List of Figures, and hope to use indexing, maybe foot or end notes though I hope to avoid that. But your links have given me an opening into more help. I may well be back up here with more questions.... Thanks again.

You are welcome.
Here is another link that may help: Complex Documents Note that these are Windows pages but still should be helpful. |
