Default split 8.5 x 11 page into four boxes 3.5 x 5

Insert a three-column, three-row borderless table. Assuming you want even
margins around your four fliers (and assuming your printer can print close
enough to the edge), set the page and table up as follows:

1. Set left and right margins to 0.25".

2. Set the width of columns 1 and 3 to 5" and column 2 to 0.5".

3. Set the top margin to 0.38" and the bottom margin to 0.25".

4. Set the height of rows 1 and 3 to Exactly 3.5" and the height of row 2 to
0.75".

You'll have a little extra space between the bottom of the table and the
bottom margin for the default empty paragraph, which you can format smaller
as needed to make it fit.

Alternatively, use 5" columns with 0.5" space between (and 0.25" L and R
margins). Set top and bottom margins to 0.38" and use paragraph spacing to
create the 0.75" between the first and second copies of your flier in each
column.

I am trying to make a page that has the same image in four separate boxes,
3.5 x 5, so I can print it and cut the page into four separate flyers. I
know how to make columns, but don't know how to make four boxes.
