From: MSE on 20 Jun 2008 22:23 I am trying to format MS Word to make flashcards. I want to create a Word doc that will print, onto blank 3x5 index cards, The vocabulary word, on the front and the vocabulary word definition on the back? For example, let's say I type, 20 vocabulary words and their definitions. I want to be able to take 20 index cards put them on the printer tray and have MS Word print all 20 flashcards on both sides. In addition to looking for suggestions about how I should format MS Word in order to do this, I am also wondering if you can recommend a printer with the capability to print on both sides in one shot. Do you have any ideas about how I might pull this off?
From: Graham Mayor on 21 Jun 2008 01:46 You will either need a duplexing printer or you will need to print the fronts and backs separately. Either way you will need to ensure that you have the correct data on the back of the correct label. For that you will need a macro.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 21 Jun 2008 09:27 No macro is really necessary if MSE is using individual index cards. All that is required is to create the fronts and backs of the cards in sequence as you would any other duplex document, then print as you would any duplex document. You can use a duplexing printer or Word's "Manual duplex" setting, or you can just print all the odd pages, flip the output are reinsert, reverse the print order, and print the even pages. -- Suzanne S.

What he says is " I want to be able to take 20 index cards put them on the printer tray and have MS Word print all 20 flashcards on both sides." To me this implied that he was printing individual cards. I could, of course, be wrong. -- Suzanne S.
