4 word forms on 1 paper page.
I have created a full page (81/2 x 11) form, (actually a simple receipt). I
would now like to take that form, shrink it and put 4 of them on one sheet of paper. After printing, I will then cut the paper and have 4 forms/receipts that are 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Someone did it for me once a long while ago and they used paint and word. Somehow pasting one to the other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian. |

4 word forms on 1 paper page.
Hi Graham, My 4 forms look great on the 1 page but the problem I have now is
that when I cut the page to separate the forms, the margins on the cut-lines become smaller. Perhaps that is why the person who did it for me once in the past used the paint and paste method. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Brian.

The alternative approach is to use a four cell table and create four
versions of the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Brian R. wrote: Hi Graham, My 4 forms look great on the 1 page but the problem I have now is that when I cut the page to separate the forms, the margins on the cut-lines become smaller.

No need for Paint and paste.
In the Print dialog, in the lower right, set the "Pages per sheet" dropdown to 4. Then, in the Pages box under "Page range", type 1,1,1,1 to get four copies of page 1. They'll all print on one sheet, automatically resized. Note that all the fonts and everything else will be reduced to half the size you see in the Print Layout View. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thank-you Jay, Boy, do I feel dumb. I knew there had to be an easy answer,
but this method is ultra easy. Thanks to you and Graham. Cheers, Brian. "Jay Freedman" wrote: No need for Paint and paste.
