I scanned all options and I cannot find out the solution ! Plz, help, I am really hurry!

Not a Word issue.

That's in the print settings. But I cheat on that and print page one, then flip it over, put in back in the printer and print page two.

Tricky?

Yes, I do the same to print two-sided. My problem is: how to create a two-sided word document in a doc file?? By defult it is one-sided.

Print settings don't exist in Word.

You are asking Word to do something that isn't there.

That would do for a two-page thesis.

For a 20 page thesis I would first print pages 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19 (one print command), then flip all ten pages together and print pages 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 (another print command).

Some (expensive) printers support dual-sided printing. That's still more easy.

And indeed, the document on the screen still goes 1,2,3,...,40.
