Word Perfect 12 print odd pages only (or even)

by Learner7 - 6/25/08 5:35 AM

How can I print odd or even pages only in WP12 ? In Word it can be done on print menu, but it is impossible to create my document in Word, and I prefer Word Perfect anyway, but I can't find a way to print my 70 page document odd pages first and even afterwards, as I need to print on the reverse side, not singly, and I don't have a printer that prints both sides.

Sorry, I don't know WP12.

But is it feasible to save the document in WP12 in some form (.rtf maybe), that can be opened in MS Word. If there are no lay-out changes or they are only minor, then you could use this feature from Word.

Just a work-around if it isn't possible in WP12 or nobody comes along with an answer.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=WORDPERFECT+12+PRINT+EVEN+PAGES and the first hit is a PDF which notes "But this time, in Step 4 choose the Step 2: Print Even Pages option"

Try that?

Odd/even pages in Word Perfect

Thanks for the Google link, I have downloaded it for possible future reference, but it doesn't have the answer. I find Word Perfect almost perfect! Its streets better than Word. I searched the WP website help and FAQS without success. I can print a few pages by selecting numbering 1,3,5,7 etc, but it has to be done in steps, and I was just hoping there might be a way to be able to do the whole doc in one hit. Ah well. Also, I tried to create it in Word, and also save it as a Word Doc in Word Perfect, but Word completely messes it up, and simply won't co-operate when trying to create it in Word. I need to see the hidden codes in the doc because its very complicated, and you can't do this with Word, whereas in WP I can press Alt+F3 and see every single code embedded in the document. Many thanks for trying to help.

They found that PDF to be spot on. That is they clicked that layout button.

I'll be more blunt.

They clicked the layout button, then the even, printed it off, flipped the paper and then the layout button, the odd checkbox and printed it one last time.

What hovering was needed here?

Nothing, but I did try it, it did not work and I have been using Word Perfect for 20 years, (when it was in DOS). But thanks for your help
