Setting Word Documents to Print in Duplex Mode

[instructorgirl]

I am creating Word documents (.doc files) that will be distributed to many locations using various printers. We want to set the documents to automatically print duplex without them having to be set to do so by the people printing the documents at the different locations. Is this possible to do with Word in VBA or is there a setting in Word that can be used? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Word itself does not store printer details and this cannot be done without using Windows APIs. It can be done but it is not easy - see

for some details and sample code.

Enjoy,
Tony
