SYMPTOMS
When you create a document using the Flyer Wizard or the Postcard Wizard from Microsoft Direct Mail Manager to create a document in Microsoft Word, the body of the document is printed as page 1 and the delivery information is printed as page 2.



CAUSE
The documents that are generated by these wizards have two pages. The first page contains the "content" of the flyer or postcard and the second page contains the addressing information. To print these documents so that the address information prints on the back of the content page, you must print the documents to a duplex printer (a printer that prints on the front and the back of paper). Note that duplex printing must be enabled. See the "More Information" section of this article for information about how to enable the duplex printing option for your printer.



WORKAROUND
It is possible, although difficult, to simulate duplex printing on a printer that does not support it. If your printer does not have the ability to print on both sides of the paper, follow these steps to simulate duplex printing:  Merge the information to a new document. On the File menu, click Print. For Page Range, click All. For Print, click Odd Pages, and then click OK.

All of the odd pages in the document will be printed. Remove the output from the printer, turn it over and reinsert it into the paper source tray for the printer. On the File menu, click Print. If the back of page 1 will be the first page printed, then continue with step 6, otherwise, turn on Reverse Print Order by following these steps:

 In the Print dialog box, click Options.</li> Turn on Reverse Print Order.</li> Click OK.</li></ol> </li> For Page Range, click All. For Print, click Even Pages, and then click OK.</li></ol>
