Hi there,

For the benefit of American readers: in Europe we typically use A4 for
documents - that's about 8" x 12" in size. A5 is "booklet" size and the
paper-size standard we use means that A5 is exactly half the size of A4
- 6" x 8". Basically, if you fold a sheet of A4 in half you have an A5
booklet, two sheets of A5 side-by-side.

So, I have a customer who has in Words an A4 document of many pages. He
wants to print this out two-sheets-to-a-page to make an A5 handout,
cutting the sheets in half and stapling them in the top left-hand
corner.

It seems easy to tell Word to print the whole document 2-sheets-per-page
- I was easily able to find this, as was my customer and I can see other
posts here dicussing this - but this prints pages 1 & 2 next to each
other on one page, then sheets 3 & 4 on the next.

My customer instead wants to print out page 1 twice on the first sheet,
page 2 twice on the second sheet, and so on. I think this makes for
easier collation when taking a stack of papers, slicing them down the
middle & stapling them.

I have been through Word's options and also those provided by the
advanced options of my customer's Oki printer, but I can't see any way
to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

Bonus points for a solution which allows me to print page 1 twice on the
first sheet, page 3 twice on the second and allows the sheets to be
easily manually duplexed.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice,

Stroller.
