Hi i don't have a problem with printing odd's and even's with publisher .I am running publisher 2002 on win xp with a hp printer
open publisher goto file/print /properties /finishing tab tick the box print on both sides put how many sheets of paper divided by 2 into printer and press ok and print when you get to the last page grab hold of them all and put them back into the printer not as easy as that i know but with practice it become's easier try 4 pages first till you get the hang of it regards john
