[dba-Tech] Fake Duplex Printing

In case that doesn't work (and anything purporting to be a word processor *must* have such a basic facility!) -

Either (a) export the document to Word and print from there [ducks the bricks being thrown] ...

Or (b) 'print' to a pdf file and use Adobe Reader.

Arthur,

Now I haven't tried this, but heard that this may work:

1.  Open the document.
2.  File/Print, should show you a form with tabs general, openoffice writer, page layout & options. 3.  Select tab Page
Layout and you should see a section called page sides with a drop-down, here you can choose front or back sides, choose
one, print, choose the other and print.

Apparently this should work, may be worth giving it a little try on a smaller test document first, would of tried myself
but do not have any ink in my printer.

Paul
