Default printing two half sheet docs on one Letter page

When you print two pages per sheet (using either the Page Setup option or
the Print option), Word needs to know what two pages you want to print. If
you're printing a document that has at least two pages, that's easy: it
prints however many pages you have, two to a sheet. If you have only one
page, you have to print it twice.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for and has solved the
problem.

1,1 is the solution in the Print window.

Just curious: What is the syntax rule that controls that? The first 1 is
page one but why does the second 1, seperated by a comma mean put two page
1's on one page?

Thanks,
SteveK

If you have Word 2000 or above, use the "2 pages per sheet" option in

Page
Setup (not the one in the Print dialog). You can either create the
document
on page 1 and copy/paste it to page 2 or just choose to print specific
pages
1,1 to print page 1 twice.

I want to make a template for a restaurant to print a desert menu. The

size
of the sheet is 5.5" wide by 8.5" high.... two portrait pages on one
landscape Letter. I will print landscape and then cut them by hand

to
make two small menus from each letter sheet.

First off is it possible to design the half sheet menu and lay it on

the
page once and have Word copy twice on to the page? How is this done?

I
don't know what concepts to read about in the Help menu.

Thanks,

STeveK
