A trick I learnt about a while ago may be useful - I'll try and describe it here, but I may not completely succeed - you need to try it it see it work... First - print out a copy of all your pages 1,2,3..n Second - re-arrange the pages in order 2,1, 4,3, 6,5, 8,7, .. n,n-1 (i.e. swap each pair of pages round ) Finally - place the pages bak in the printer face down, and print pages 1..n again on the blank sides. You now have 2 double sided copies of your original document! Hope this is of some use, as it certainly avoids a lot of programming, but unfortunately can be a pain for large documents - arrange yourself at a large clear desk and work from a source to destination pile - and try not to get distracted by people asking what the heck you are doing! :-) Cris
