              WordPerfect 5.0 Macro - PRN2SIDE.WPM


PURPOSE:  Takes a WordPerfect formatted document and divides it
          so that page two can be printed on the back of page
          one, page four on the back of page three page six on
          the back of page five, etc.

METHOD:	  The macro moves every other page to "Doc 2".  It first
          clears the Doc 2 screen and then copies any formatting
          codes at the top of the document.  The macro requires
          that the pages be separated by a Hard Page [HPg].  It
          asks if this has been done and if not will assist you
          in replacing the Soft Pages with Hard Pages.

          This may seem like a bother but I have found that more
          often than not if I don't check where the page breaks
          are I'm not satisfied with the print-out and end up
          doing it again.  This wastes paper and one of the
          reasons for printing on both sides is to save paper.

          Pressing Cancel (F1) should cause the macro to be
          terminated at any time.

HINTS:	  When printing, start with a leader page and print the
          odd pages first.  Also leave an un-printed page at the
          end of the first printing.  I've found this useful.

          When printing the even pages double check that page 1
          is positioned correctly so that page 2 will be printed
          on the back of page one.  This sounds simple enough,
          but it's easy to get the first document threaded wrong
          if you're not careful.

          Also check that the text and graphics quality of both
          print passes are the same.

COMMENTS: I think that this macro is a good example of the power
          of WP5.0's macro tools.  I particularly like the
          ability to insert the message windows.  I don't pretend
          that this is the best way to design this particular
          macro, but it works.  Any suggestion for improvement
          would be interesting.

          One thing I've looked at is to base the page moving
          loop on searching for Soft Pages.  The code that I've
          seen to do this does not work consistently for me.  It
          seems to work with documents that I create, but text
          that I import and reformat doesn't always work.  This
          is what I've used:

					[F2]			{Search}
					[Ctrl]-V
					[Ctrl]-V		{V}
					[Ctrl]-V
					[Ctrl]-[End]	{Del to EOL}
					[F2]

          If you have any suggestions drop me a note.  Also I'd
          like to here if you found this macro useful.  You can
