- I found that the best way to print odd and even pages (i.e., double
- sided) on an Deskjet 500 in W4W is to use a macro along these lines:
-
- for i = start to end step 2
- print page i
- DialogBox "Put paper back in..."
- for i = start + 1 to end step 2
- print page i
-
- Obviously, this requires putting the paper back into the paper tray
- in reverse order, and some may think of this as slightly crude, but
- it works for me. And it crashes a lot less often than my previous
- solution, the duplex macro in the sharware package "Windows Office
- Power Pack".
- Please note (for the more pedantic among you) that the above code is
- *not* WordBasic, but is merely pseudocode (I am a student, and we
- have a tendancy to use pseudocode....!).
-
- What I'd like to know is why there isn't an option in the Print
- dialog box of WFW (especially v2.0) with a check button for odd/
- even pages. It's about the only feature which those nice chaps at
- MS really should have foreseen a demand for.
