put 1/2 page merge on top of page, repeat at bottom to save paper
If you have Word 2000 or above, your best bet is to use "2 pages per sheet"
under "Multiple pages" on the Paper tab of Page Setup. This gives you two logical pages on a single sheet of paper. You can create a single page and then copy/paste the content into page 2 or (more simply), just put 1,1 in the Pages box in the Print dialog to print page 1 twice on a sheet. Please note that this is NOT the "2 pages per sheet" option in the Print dialog, which reduces a single page to fit twice onto a sheet. -- Suzanne S.

Either set the merge type to Directory/Catalog and the second record will be
merged immediately after the first (assuming there is the correct amount of space to reproduce the document in the lower half of the page), or leave it as a letter merge and duplicate the merge document on the page with copy and paste, and at the start of the duplicated version add a Next Record field. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Joyce" wrote in message ...

I missed that Joyce was creating a mail merge, but "2 pages per sheet" is
still the best way to go. This permits a simple letter merge, one record per "page." -- Suzanne S.

Surely two pages per sheet will put the documents side by side shrunken to
half letter/B5? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Not if you leave the paper orientation as Portrait. Try it. (And note that,
as emphasized in my previous post, this is the "2 pages per sheet" in Page Setup, not the one in the Print dialog). Actually, expanding this thread, I see that my original reply seems to be missing. It was: If you have Word 2000 or above, your best bet is to use "2 pages per sheet" under "Multiple pages" on the Paper tab of Page Setup. This gives you two logical pages on a single sheet of paper.
