Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
Even though I select to have 2 pages per sheet printed, Word still only
prints 1 page per sheet. Why is this happening? My page layout is 1/2 page and I want to print 2 of those per sheet. It seems straight forward, though it does not print that way. ----------------- Scott |

Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
You have to print the page twice. This isn't terribly intuitive, I know, but
you have to type 1,1 in the Pages box. -- Suzanne S.

Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
Thank you, that works.
A couple issues though...if I mail merged 50 letters, that means I would need to enter 1,2,3,4,5... that's a pain. Secondly, when I mail merge via my ACT! program, the Pages option does not appear- now that's probably an ACT! issue, however, it exists. ----------------- Scott "Suzanne S.

Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
No, not at all. If you actually have more than one page, then 2 pages per
sheet works as expected. It's only when you want to print two copies of the same page that you have to enter the page numbers. -- Suzanne S.

Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
Interestly enough, that's what brought me here. The 2 per page printing of
2+ pages did not function 'out of the box'. That function only worked when I applied the 1,2 tag. Is there some setting that I should check for the function to normally occur? Or maybe there;s some special circumstances where 2 per page doesn't work or might it be my printer driver. I will check for an updated printer driver. Thanks again. ----------------- Scott "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: No, not at all. If you actually have more than one page, then 2 pages per sheet works as expected.

Can't Print 2 Pages per Sheet
Okay, let's back up. You say your "page layout is 1/2 page." What does this
mean exactly? I was assuming you were using the "2 pages per sheet" option in the Page Setup dialog. If that were the case, then you would (at least in Word 2003) get two pages printed on each sheet automatically when you print the entire document. If you're trying to use "2 pages per sheet" in the Print dialog, then this is a different matter; you should still get two pages per sheet, but they would be reduced. And of course the fact that this is a merge document complicates the issue, and ACT! very likely complicates it further. When you create a letter merge, each letter is a separate section. If you're getting only one letter per sheet, could it be that each letter has a blank second page? Entering page numbers wouldn't help in this instance, anyway; you'd have to enter section numbers. -- Suzanne S.
