For the first column on the page, use the following field construction
{ = 2 * { PAGE } - 1 } and for the second column use { = 2 * { PAGE } } -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Where would the "{ = 2 * { PAGE } - 1 }" and "{ = 2 * { PAGE }}" be placed?
Would you refer me to a link that might elaborate on this? Thanks.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/Print2Pages.htm. But if you have
Word 2000 or above, a *much* simpler solution is to use the "2 pages per sheet" option in Page Setup. This gives you two logical pages per physical page, and you can treat them just as you would a full page, including page numbers, margins, page borders, etc. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the answer, but it raised another question.
When I asked for "2 pages per sheet", I was immediately told that the "Settings I chose for left & right margins, column spacing, ... are too large for the page width ...". One normally doesn't specify the page width. The margisn specified subtracted from the page size determine the page width. Right? It is obvious that I am missing something. I have had text running to 100+ pages in two columns in landscape mode, and until now printed the page numbers in a separate pass of the pages, after the text was printed. Obviously this is not a preferred solution. In thi ssituation, let's say I specify 1/2" all around the sheet, and an inch in between the two columns. When I go to Page Setup and ask for 2 pages per sheet, 1) should I leave the text in two columns or one? 2) how should the margins be changed, so that when I fold the sheet, I do have 1/2" all around the text?

Before selecting "2 pages per sheet," Ctrl+A to select the entire document,
then go to Format | Columns and click on the picture marked One. This will check the "Equal column width" box. It is the absence of this setting that causes the error message you experienced. -- Suzanne S.
