Hello, I want to print all my documents double-sided by default, but I can't find the "default" setting in Word 2016
Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    for double-sided printing, you need to look in your printer settings, not in Word!

      Thank you, Electricien 69, but as I explained to PapyLuc, my problem is not the choice of printing, but rather being able to set it as default, so that all my documents print double-sided right away (without having to change the setting every time).
      And this should be possible from Word (as I used to do in previous versions)
      I thank you nevertheless for taking the time to respond to me.
      Good evening

    Hello,

    Greetings Electricien 69

    > lixette: from Word it is possible to access the properties of a printer (my Office is 2013).

    File > Print > click on printer properties under the box where its name is written.

    Best regards

      Hi,

      if the printer doesn’t support double-sided printing, it won’t work :)
      hence the sending in the printer settings, Word loads the print driver to offer double-sided printing :-)

      PapyLuc, Thank you for your response
      But I have no trouble printing double-sided (lengthwise, widthwise, or sideways - wink) what I can't figure out is where to click to make this action DEFAULT) I used to be able to do it in an earlier version of Word, but now I can't.!
      Have a good evening and thank you for responding to me

    Can you take a screenshot of the printer interface page, print options tab please?

    As I mentioned earlier, Office loads the print driver, it’s in your printer driver settings that you need to set it as default!

    All documents will be printed double-sided!

    Office alone does not manage the print driver!

    Check your printer’s manual and you’ll see :-)

      Thank you Electrician 69, you're really kind!
      I just took a screenshot of what I (think) you asked me for on Word, but forgive my incompetence, I don’t know how to send it to you!

      Hello Electrician 69 - I finally managed to solve my problem after a bit of trial and error. Therefore, there’s no need to send you my screenshot, but here’s a little GIF as a thank you for your support. (I hope it goes through)

        You're welcome, I wasn't of much help since you found a solution on your own; what I was asking you is to describe the settings you found so that the entire community can benefit from them.

        Best regards

        Sorry for the delay, PapyLuc, I was absent. So, here's how I did it:
        After clicking on the "Start" menu on my computer, I searched for =˃ "Settings" =˃ then "Printers" =
        I selected my printer (for me Canon MG5300) and right-clicked on it to reach "Properties"
        In "Properties" under the "General" tab, I also clicked on "Preferences" and when the "Quick Setup" box appeared, in the Print options I simply had to check the box "Duplex Printing", finally found!!!
        I finished by checking "Default" (there is no "default" option here) and then "Always print with current settings"
        And it works!!! Did I answer correctly?
        Anyway, thank you both, it’s always nice to find people who listen and try to solve our problems without judging our (sometimes) rather pitiful performances!
        Best regards
