We have PageMaker 6.5 and have printed duplex documents in the past out of this file and all that was done was we opened the file made a change to a certain page and now it will not print on the backside of the previous page. two sided printing is set in Document settings.


Help!!

Hi, Randygk,

> now it will not print on the backside of the previous page.

What does that mean?
The page is not printed at all?
There are items on the page which do appear on the printed page?
The pagination is incorrect?

Randy,
PM tends to pick up the printer settings that are in force when the doc is saved. Do you have a Printer Style established with all your standard print parameters? I have to print in many different layouts with numerous printers so I have Printer Style established for each.

To set up a Print Style got to File>Printer Style>Define>New. Then choose your printer and specify all the parameters for the style you want to create (one of mine is called Abel_Landscape). When you've finished, give it a name specific to its function. I have ten styles established. The Help section, the manual, or this web forum can give you more specific info if you need more. Let us know.

Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Seek and ye shall find! [peace]

I love Mondays cause they're the Second day of the week!
 
Found the problem to be a corrupt page toward the beginning of the file not included in pages being printed. It threw off all the pages by 1 page. so the page that should have been on the backside of one sheet was on the front of it's own sheet.
