That opens up the main print window with the document ready to print. The software engineers at Microsoft apparently think it’s ok to bury the 2-sided printing option down in the weeds of print/printer settings. I think it’s unnecessarily obtuse, and double-sided printing in Word (or any MS Office type of file) should be straightforward and on the main print dialogue box. Microsoft Word for Mac operates a bit differently than it does on the Windows computer platform. Some pre-print windows in other programs on my Mac have a button that says “printer” which you can use to get 2-sided. When I print a Word document I’ve created on my Macbook Pro, it does not and it always comes out 1-sided. My printer prints 2-sided (auto-duplex), and most of the things I print give me the option to do so.
