reverse print default for Word 2007

Question: Hi George,
Thanks for your great tutorials on Word 2007.
I have a question.
I very cleverly found a spot where I set reverse print as a Word default.
I did not have Word 2007 open at the time ( I think I didn't anyway...)
But,
now when I want to create a pdf, through file>print>create pfd,
the pdf doc is also reversed, ie, the pages start in reverse order.
There is no facility in the print menu>pdf mode to reverse print.
Can you tell me where I set the default for Word please?

Hopefully,
Marie
