Tip of the Week: Printing on both sides
If you want to save trees and print out a Word document on both sides of the page and you don't have one of those fancy "duplexing" printers, all is not lost! You can manually print on both sides of a page by doing the following:
When you click on the File menu in Word, then on Print, the print dialog box will appear with options for what you want to print. Change the "Print" pull down from "All pages in range" to "Odd pages". After printing on one side of the page, flip the paper over and change the order of pages depending on how the paper feeds in your printer (this may require some initial experimenting).
For the back side choose "Even pages" then print!
