Word: Print Last Page First or Reverse Order

Contributor Icon Contributed by MickeyMouse

In my ink jet printer, each new printed page is placed on the last printed page. Therefore, the last printed page is always on top. For a long document, it takes a while to resort and place the first page first! This is how you can get Microsoft Word to reverse the print order and save all the trouble.


I have spent so much time resorting documents after printing. On my printer, the last page printed is always on top. By printing the last page first (reverse order), the document is already correctly sorted.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open Microsoft Word
2. Open the document to be printed
3. Click the Tools menu
4. Select Options
5. Click the Print tab
6. Check the Reverse Print Order option
7. Select OK

Now, all your documents will prevent in reverse order. What a lifesaver!

    For Word 2007 it is on advanced word options. Select the Office button, word options, advanced, the option is under the print settings.

    For Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac -

    File
    Print…
    Choose ‘Paper Handling’ in the ‘Copies & Pages’ dropdown box
    In the ‘Page Order’ dropdown box you have three options 
    ‘Automatic’ – ? 
    ‘Normal’ – prints page 1 first, last page ends up on top
    ‘Reverse’ – last page prints first, page 1 ends up on top

    Choose to taste = )
