I am having problems with duplex printing in Word 2011 for Mac; the dialogue box in Word simply has no option for 2-sided printing.  In contrast, when I print an adobe pdf I do get the 2-sided page print option, and this works fine.  I've checked system preferences and the printer options are set to "Duplex unit," so the default for duplex printing appears to be properly set.   But I simply don't have a 2-sided paper option in the dialogue box when printing in Word.  How do I print 2-sided auto duplex in Word 2011 for Mac?  Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:

From the file used to print click the File menu and select Print.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Press on Show Details to show any available print option.

Click the Copies & Pages drop down menu within Microsoft Office applications.

Select Layout from the drop-down menu.

Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Short-Edge binding (landscape).

You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.

Regards,
Shlomi
