Saving Print Options in Word 2007

When I select 2 sided printing in a doucment and then save the document it
does not save the print settings, so each time I open the document I have to
select 2 sided again. Any suggestions

Print settings are not stored with the document, but you could store the
requirement in a document property or docvariable and interrogate the
property/variable with a macro at print time
or
You could create a macro to print double sided - the essential principles
are covered at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm
or
If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT field.
A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions
directly to the printer.

There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex
PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex
(bookformat)

The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L,
0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote.

Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }
