Re the doublesiding question: this was not a problem in my mainframe
days, but it is now. If all the pages are portrait or all are
landscape, then the printer can be told to do long or short side
flipping respectively.
But because I'm mixing orientations, the only choices seem to be:
* live with the portrait pages flipping incorrectly, or
* split the job in two and print part long-side, and part
short-side, then collate. Every time. BAH.
I can't be the only person who deals with technical documents that
have occasional fold-out pages, surely? And, of course, what I want
to be able to do is hand the file to a client in a way that would
process automagically.

OT: one of the many help files I read this morning related to moving
pages around in Word (in the same way that you might rearrange charts
in powerpoint). I thought page re-arranging would be a reasonable
thing to do, but the general pointed response fell somewhere along
the spectrum of "it doesn't do that" and "what sort of idiot would
want to do that". The former was what I feared, and the latter was
just annoying, but repeated often enough that I wondered if the
responders work in the real world... or if anyone at M$ has ever had
to create a 300 page tender document.

Yes, that brightened my morning, too!
And I also have no answers. Is there room to dance widdershins around the printer?
Thanks
