Attaching Double-Sides Text Documents With Email

[tony_123]

If an 8 page word document is printed on both sides giving 16 pages of text in all can it be sent by email attachment and the recipient have access to all 16 text pages or have access to just the odd numbered pages or would it fail to be attached or would the entire email fail to be delivered.

This is interesting to know.

I think you'd get 8 pages, and not the backside of the pages.

Lets see what the experts say.

If you attach and send a word document via email it will be received in the same format and size that it was sent.

The fact that you print 8 pages per sides is irrelevant. The key factor is that it is 16 pages long in format and therefore 16 pages will be received.

Both sides of the pages have text. 8 pages with text on both sides would be 16 pages. You sure all the pages would show in an email?

The email system has no way of knowing whether it's a single-sided document, a double-sided document or even that it's a document at all. It's simply a file (which could equally be an image, a spreadsheet, a database or anything else).

The file that's on the sender's computer is sent to the recipient's computer. i.e. what the recipient gets MUST be identical to what was sent.

Chris, so it's yes, the recipient would get all 16 pages?

to add my two pennorth, the double siding is a printer instruction, not a wordprocessor instruction if you see what i mean. Assuming that your printer has the facility, you can choose to print the same file out single or double sided, if you double side it the printer just sucks the paper back in again and prints on the blank side.
The only exception that I can see, and its a pretty silly one, would be if you are scanning in a double sided document, then you'd have to make sure that you scanned both sides of each page.

[woofgang]

yes, all 16 pages even though I am not Chris.

[Buenchico]

Correct, Society

[woofgang]

whew, I must be slightly faster on the submit button

Sorry for dominating your thread, Tony.

Thanks Chris and Woof.

Double sided print/attachment. Well done all of you. I put the question because a big firm of solicitors claim that they had so sent an attachment. 24 hours later and free from such influence, all answers that agree with me that a double-sided printed document cannot be sent in 8 pages rather all 16 pages would be conveyed. I just need some answers to show so-called clever Joy-sticks that in the wider community there are brighter individuals. Thanks to you all. Tony_123
