Creating a Macro to print from Word in duplex mode on printer.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a macro to assist in printing documents that
will also select (if available on the default printer) the duplex function
so that the printed material will come out printed on both sides? We've
successfully recorded macros to assist with the printing of complex
documents to various paper trays within the same document (i.e. Letterhead,
Continuation, Plain etc.), but the duplex function appears as a setting of
the printer driver and not within the highest level of Word's own Print
Setup panel itself, so recording a macro with duplexing enabled does not
seem to record this information and therefore does not 'switch on' duplexing
if not selected already when the macro is played. Has anyone got any
experience of manipulating a macro in this way?

Thanks.
