Click Print.
![]() | Print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) |
The easiest way to produce double-sided publications is to print them on a printer that supports duplex printing. You can usually learn whether your printer supports duplex printing either by looking at the information that was included with the printer or by looking at the printer's properties. Some printers offer the option of automatically printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing). Other printers provide instructions so that you can manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing). Some printers do not offer duplex printing at all.
If your printer doesn't offer automatic duplex printing, you can follow these steps to manually print on both sides of the paper.
On the File menu, click Print.
On the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer that you want.
On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Microsoft Word.
Click Odd pages only.
After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, reinsert the stack into the printer, repeat steps 1 through 3, and then click Even pages only.
Depending on the printer model, you might have to rotate and reorder the pages to print the other side of the stack.
![]() | Print only odd or even pages |
On the File menu, click Print.
On the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer that you want.
On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Microsoft Word.
Click Odd pages only or Even pages only.
![]() | Print in reverse order |
If your printer stacks the output back-to-front, you can still have your pages print in the correct order. Follow these steps to print a document that begins with the last page.
On the Word menu, click Preferences.
Under Output and Sharing, click Print.
Under Printing options, select the Reverse print order check box.
![]() | Prevent a document from printing onto an additional page |
To prevent a document from printing a small amount of text on the last page, you can decrease the font size of text to eliminate the short last page.
We recommend that you review the changes to your document before you save it. After you save the document, you cannot undo the changes.
