Publisher skipping every other record -- how to stop that

[Susan May]

I've used Publisher for 2 years now, same template, and today, I had 293
records to print and it skipped every other record. Is there a way to tell
Pubshlier to print even/odd pages rather than deleting each record that
printed each time I reattach the file. This has taken all day, and I had 38
left - deleted the rest, reattached the new file, and it skipped every other
one.

HELP!

I stand corrected. It prints the first half every other record, and then
prints the others after the first batch prints. They are all at the back of
this last print job. I have never seen Publisher do this before. I print
hundreds of notecards (2 pages, duplexed) all the time, and I need to figure
this out so it never happens again. Does anybody know what's going on? When
I ask it to Print Merge, I have all records selected, and they are in alpha
order.

Thanks again.

So even-numbered records are being printed on the backside of odd
records? Do you normally do manual duplex or automatic duplex? It sounds
like a manual duplex option has become set somewhere, such that it
prints the front sides, and expects you to turn the stack over to print
the back sides. Obviously if you run that through an automatic duplexer
then things will go very wrong!
