Need help "fooling" Word with Page Numbering
I would like to print pages Landscape so that I can get two 5-1/2 x 8 pages on
an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. This will allow me to print two copies of my book at a time. It will be tedious to copy each page of my 110+ page document to do this (wish I had a Macro!), but where I'm having trouble is with page numbering. I need to have Word put page number 1 on the bottom of the first two pages, page number 2 on the bottom of pages 3 & 4, etc. I tried to insert { = { PAGE } -1} in the footer on every other page, but that has no effect. Can someone tell me how to have Word give me two page 1s, two page 2s, two page 3s, ... Thanks! |

An easier way to do this is to use the "2 pages per sheet" option in Page
Setup. You'll get pages 1 and 2 on sheet 1, 3 and 4 on sheet 2, etc. I think you'll find it much easier to construct your book this way since the pages will then be continuous. You can still get two copies of the book on the same number of sheets. Or use the "Book fold" feature to set your book up as a booklet. -- Suzanne S.
