Printing multiple documents in Westlaw?

Post by ScottRiqui » Fri Jan 22, 2016 6:17 pm

In Westlaw, if I select multiple documents from one of my folders and print them, they're all merged together into a single PDF for printing. That's fine, but there's a 50-50 chance that the first page of a document ends up printing on the back of the previous document's last page. Is there any way to make sure that the first page of each document begins on the "front" of the sheet of paper?

i think I got around this by using find and print an delivering it in a PDF and then printing. Then they weren't merged like that, but I can't remember if all the cases just had an even number of pages.

There's like a million ways. First, you could select not double sided. Second, you can select add cover sheets, third, you could select download individually into a zip and then drag those files into the printer.

Thanks to both of you! I think the "add cover sheets" option is going to work the best for me. With multiple individual files, I have to re-enter my student ID and password for each document (but even that's not too bad). With cover sheets, it all prints as one document, and it guarantees that no single sheet of paper has content from two different documents.
