Another plan is to set up a second 'printer' using the same driver, with its
options set to print duplex. You can then choose whether to print duplex or
not simply by selecting the appropriate 'printer'. Use the method suggested
at
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to print to the required version
without having to go through menu options.
