How do you set up to print double sided? For a puzzle book for OOT bags


Recommended Posts

I am TOTALLY inspired by all you Do It Yourself-ers on this site. You girls make the most beautiful things and you make them all look so easy to do! PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Inspired to try DIY myself, I decided to do a custom puzzle book to put in the OOT bags. I found websites online to make FREE personalized puzzles:

 

Free Custom Word Search- Free Printable Word Search Puzzles

Free Custom Crossword- EclipseCrossword - the fast, easy, and FREE way to create crossword puzzles in minutes

And then you cannot customize, but free soduko puzzles- Print Free Sudoku Puzzles

 

And then I made as cute a booklet in MS Word as I could (it's a work in prgoress for sure). BUT I cannot figure out how to set up the document to print correctly. I want it to prit in order, double-sided. I have Word, Publisher, Power Point, etc... but in none of these programs can I seem to get my document set up in the right order to print double sided.

I'm posting my MS Word document in case any of you would like it or could please, pretty please help me!

The thing is that most printers print different. I have had to re-train myself everytime I get a new printer. So I could print it and tell you how to do it on mine but that won't help you. I would suggest using your lowest quality setting on your printer and keep trying to print them until you get it right than jot yourself a little note so you don't have to figure it out each time.

What a great book! Your guests will love it!

Unfortunately I can't really help with the double sided thing. Everytime I print something double sided I stand by the printer and as it comes out I feed it through again to have it print on the other side. I'm sure there's an easier way than that!

Thanks girls! Yeah, I just thought the book would be a fun & cute unique thing for the guests to do on the beach or while lounging by the poool. And for those wo get into it, the crosswaord puzzle can be a way for guests to get to know one another. If onyl I could figure out the right way to set this darn thing up so the book is seen by people other than just you girls!!!

 

I know so many girls use Photoshop anf print the passports double sided. The file looks like a mish-mosh order, but it prints perfectly. I just wish I knew how they did it!!!!

If you don't have a duplex printer (meaning one that prints one side, then reverses the pages and prints the other on it's own), then just print the odd numbered pages, turn them over and print the other sides.

 

If you printer takes the top page first (most do) you'll need to re-order your pages so that the first page is on the bottom (face up).

 

Or, you can do what I do... print all of the first pages, then reverse and print all of the second pages, then the third, etc. Then just collate and you're off and running.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
