To avoid having to figure out anything, my trick for double-sided printing to
a printer that doesn't support it is this (details are for Word 97):

1) Print... > Options... > Check/tick Reverse print order > OK
2) Print (order): Even pages
3) OK [this prints all the even pages in reverse order.]
4) Turn the stack of printed paper around and re-insert it into the printer,
without altering the order of the pages within the stack [1].
5) Print... > Options... > Uncheck/untick Reverse print order > OK
6) Print (order): Odd pages
7) OK [this prints all the odd pages on the back of the correct even pages,
and prints any final odd page in the correct place.]

It's essential to print even pages first, then odd pages, in order to cope
automatically with any final odd page. I just remember E comes before O in
the alphabet!

[1] With a new printer, I usually need to experiment first with which way
round to manually re-insert pages. There, I even managed to write a unique
endnote :-)
