setting page layout to print index cards on A4 sheet
I've produced 4"x6" size price tags on word and want to know how to set page
setup to print 4 at a time on an A4 sheet, word only recognizes these as individual pages and so only prints 1 at a time and consequently I'm wasting 3/4 of a page each time it prints one out. I have about 30 different ones. |

setting page layout to print index cards on A4 sheet
Whether or not you can set up multiple pages to print on a page depends on
your printer driver and not MS Word. Select File/Print/Options. There may be a different number of tabs if you have a complicated printer. But if the feature is there on the options or one one tab of the options, you can select both the paper size and the number of pages to print on one sheet. But it may also mess up the alignment when you print this way. The other possiblity is create a new A4 size page, and use a table. Easiest way to create your table is to select the table button on the standard toolbar (rectangle with blue bar on top, 9 white blocks underneath, no green Excel "X" on it). A table attached to this button will pop up. For your tags, select the box second from the top and second from the left - which will give you a 2x2 table). As a default, the lines will be visible. Keep them that way until you get your alignment set. Copy onetag into each of the four squares. To adjust the lines of the table, put your cursor over them until it changes to a double line with arrows pointing out. Then click and drag the lines to where you want them (this will not work with the top horizontal line). Print some samples to make sure you have your alignment correct for your paper. Edit the content of one of the tags if necessary, then copy it again to the other cells. Once you get the alignment the way you want, select the entire table (drag your cursor over opposite corner cells, or from the Table menu hit Select, then table. Go to Format, Borders & Shading, then select None (upper left corner), and hit OK (If you want some lines, you can select Custom, then use the diagram on the right to pick which lines, how dark, and whether you want dashes instead of solid lines. Then you will have your four tickets on the same page exactly the way you want them, and the printer driver will not matter.
