Collate/Duplex

Is there a Collate feature in print settings for Publisher like word?


I'm trying to print merge onto index cards. The template has two pages
intended to print on front and back. My printer supports manual duplex
capabilities but if I'm printing 8 records (cards) after the front of each
card is printed it asks me to flip it over and hit continue, then it prints
the back of the card. It does this for every record. I want to print page 1
from my template on the front of all 8 cards then flip over the stack and
print page 2 (so I only have to manually hit continue once)

In MSFT Word I simply uncheck the collate option and it works just fine...
prints the front of each page, I flip the stack hit continue, prints the back
of each page.

Please tell me this is possible in Publisher.
Thanks
Scott

Doesn't print current page work? You can type how many copies.

You can turn off the manual duplex feature.

I'm printing a mail merge so I don't want multiple copies of the same first
page. What I've noticed is that collate is only available when you are not
doing mail merge. I give printing current page only and multiple pages but
pretty certain that won't work.

Adding to my last response... when you're print merging there is no option
that I can find for Print current page.

When you merge are you checking "Multiple pages per sheet?" How many entries do
you have? There is a registry fix that could be helpful.

There is lots of help here

Is there merge information on both sides?

Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at the registry fix but yes there
is Merge information on both sides.

If the front of the card has John Smith's address and the back of the card says
Dear John you will have problems.

The data will have to be different for the back or Dear John will be on Bill
Jones card.
