Create double-sided badges for direct mail

Hello,
I need to create badges for a conference using mail merge. So far, nothing complicated. However, these badges need to be double-sided so that they can be read even if they flip over.
Does anyone know how to do this in Word?
Thank you very much!
Sophie

    Hello Sophie,

    Page 1 of your Word document contains the labels for all the badges
    of the press conference. The winner will be the one who wins
    the Pulitzer Prize (Loïs Lane is the favorite; in second place: Clark Kent).  😉

    A) If your printer can physically print double-sided:

    1) Copy and paste in Word to create a page 2
        identical to page 1.
    2) In your printer properties, select the
        “double-sided” mode.
    3) In the usual “Print” window, check the box
        “double-sided” to print your document
        as 2 pages.

    B) If your printer cannot print double-sided:

    1) No need to do the copy/paste mentioned above.
    2) Print page 1 twice, then use scissors and glue!

    Best regards.  😊

      Hello Albkan,

      Thank you for your help. I had the same idea as you. The problem is that by doing it this way, the front and back don't match. Let me explain: if I put Mr. A and Mr. B on the same page 1, and then copy and paste that onto page 2, Mr. B becomes the front of Mr. A and vice versa.

      I'm not sure if that’s clear.

      There is indeed the solution of cutting them manually, but there will be numerous guests, so I'm looking for a quicker solution (if one exists, of course...)

        Can you tell me if your printer can physically print on both sides?
        Otherwise, you'll have to use method B) anyway!

        OK, so we should be able to use method A); then try this:
        Your Word document has one page, and on this page 1, there are the labels
        for all the badges; when you have the "Print" window open, set the number
        of copies to 2 and print double-sided.

        If it worked:

        a) No need to copy/paste sheet 1 to sheet 2.
        b) Reply to this message to let me know it worked.
        c) Click at the top of the page on "Mark as resolved".

        If not, read on:

        I didn’t quite understand what you wrote: "if I put Mr. A and Mr. B
        on the same page 1"; on the same what? in the same spot
        of the same reserved box for a badge, right?
