How to print multiple pages/sheet correctly in Word
When I try to print e.g., 4 pages per sheet in Word 2002, the output
apparently cannot be forced to print the 1st page at the top left; the 2nd page at the top right; 3rd page at the bottom left; and the 4th page at the bottom right. This seems to be the case using the Zoom feature as well as the Properties|Features button/tab and selecting multiple pages per sheet. With the latter, the graphic is correct, but the printed output is not. The same situation obtains with 2 pages/sheet, etc. Other Office applications print multiple pages/sheet correctly. |

For my example of 4 pages/sheet they all print but cannot be made to print
with the 1st page at top left; 2nd page at top right; 3rd page at bottom left; and 4th page at bottom right. This obtains regardless of whether the Zoom feature or any of the settings on the Features Tab. However, the order can be changed depending on the "Order" setting on the Features Tab, but never to give the ordering above. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What are you getting instead? -- Suzanne S.

You still haven't said what order you are getting. sigh
I haven't tried this, but I would think that the order would be influenced by the ordering of the page numbers in the page box. Instead of entering, say, "1-4" or "1,2,3,4," try entering "1,3,2,4" or some other order until you find one that works. Your description of a Features tab, however, suggests that you are printing 4 pages per sheet using a setting in your printer Properties rather than Word's "pages per sheet" setting, which has no such interface. -- Suzanne S.

The order when File|Print|Zoom is taken is reversed, i.e., p.1 appears at
bottom right; p. 2 at botom left; p. 3 at top right; and p. 4 at top left. When File|Print|Properties|Features|Pages to per sheet|4 is taken there are 4 options, which produce different results (seems foolish to enumerate the 4 sets here), none of which is the desired top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. Individually specifying pages as you suggest gets cumbersome for 50-100 page documents, which I often have to deal with. It turns out that if you deselect "Reverse print order" in Print|Options things can be forced to work, but then in order to get the end of the document to print first you must go to Print|Properties|Features and select "Start Printing from Last Page" to not have to reorder the pages.

If you'd mentioned that you had print order reversed, the cause of your
problem would have been obvious. -- Suzanne S.
