I am running Word 10 on Windows 8.1. The print default is to print both sides of the paper. I want only single side printing. I can change it one side printing under file print, but it reverts to two sided printing. Is there any way of changing the
default to one side printing?
The default printing options are set in Windows, not in Word.
In Windows 8.1, press the Windows key and the X key together to open a menu, and press P to open the Control Panel. Click or tap the Devices and Printers item. In that screen, right-click or tap/hold the icon of your printer and choose Printing Preferences.
That dialog will probably look like the one you get from clicking Printer Properties in the Print dialog of Word, but this one controls the printer's defaults. Set one-sided printing (or turn off duplex printing) and click OK.
