Printing two-page merged letters from alternating trays

[rpurosky]

There is not a section break in the two-page form letter, so 50 records would
produce 50 sections, 100 pages. Is there a way to print all the first pages
of the letters from Tray 1 (letterhead) and all the second pages from Tray 2
(regular paper)? I can do it in setup for one letter (two pages), but can't
get it to work for multiple letters.

I see that you didn't get a response... but have you solved your problem? I
am in a nearly identicle situation! To add to it, I'd like it to staple each
"section" so that I have 800+ 2-page documents that are addressed to our
clients. PLEASE If you know anything, let me know. I have a RICOH 4500
printer, it that helps any.

If you execute the merge to a new document and then run a macro containing
the following code, it will send each 2 page letter to the printer as a
separate print job, so that the printer can then do its thing as it does
when printing a single letter.

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count Step 1
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
End With
