SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Word for the Macintosh may not print in reverse order on the
Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskWriter when the Reverse Print Order option is
selected. (To locate the Reverse Print Order option, click Options on the
Tools menu [in Word 98 click Preferences], and then click the Print tab.)
CAUSE
This problem occurs when Print Back To Front is also selected in the HP
DeskWriter printer driver setup dialog box. That is, the Reverse Print
Order option in Word turns on reverse printing, and then the HP DeskWriter
Print Back To Front option turns it off again.
RESOLUTION
To print from Word in reverse order on an HP DeskWriter, select either the
Print Back To Front option for the HP DeskWriter, or the Reverse Print
Order option in Word, but do not select both at the same time.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for the
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
