Duplex setting for the document only.

[JPC]

I remember there was a way to setup duplex for the document only. Basically
I have a person who doesn't want to set her printer to duplex, rather she
wants to set the document to duplex each time she opens it.

This way when she opens up another document the duplex setting isn't set,
and she doesn't duplex her next document.

Is this still possible in Word 2003?

It has never been possible in Word. Perhaps you are thinking of WordPerfect?

If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT field.
A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions
directly to the printer.

There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex
PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex
(bookformat)

The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L,
0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote.

Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }
