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

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Charles,

That method had occured to me (at least in principle). Unfortunately, I
don't know how to reference the specific printer/driver within the macro.
Do you know how this can be done or can you point me towards some
instruction/reference?

Thanks again.
