My macbook is saving PDFs exported from word as a mirror image. It is also printing this way. I cannot find the turn off mirror image choice on my print settings. This is also a word problem, because when I go to print from the internet it will print normally.

    Perhaps I misunderstood the issue...

    First, make sure that your macOS, Office software & print driver are fully updated. Once all of that is confirmed: In the Print dialog open the Copies & Pages list & select Layout. Clear the checkbox for Flip Horizontally.

    That is the only control know of which would cause what you have described. If that doesn't correct it please provide additional descriptive information including:

    • macOS Version
    • Present Mac Office Version
    • Whether only 1 specific document is affected
    • A screen shot of the problem document

    Have you visited Format> Document in the main menu? If the document is se for Mirror Margins it will be indicated in the Multiple Pages dropdown. Set tat to the Normal option.

    I just went to see if that was it, but they were already set to normal, so that wasn't the problem
