Default mirror image?

If you use "2 pages per sheet" (in Page Setup) and set up a page as desired,
you can either duplicate the content on page 2 and then print the document,
or you can print pages 1, 1 to get the same page repeated on a single sheet.
Note that when you choose "2 pages per sheet," you need to change the page
orientation to Landscape to get two portrait pages on a landscape sheet.

Thank you to both Suzanne and Robert for responding.
Unfortunately, this option just split the document. It printed on one
sheet, but split the first page and didn't print the second page at all.

I
don't quite understand why this is so difficult to do. I may just have to
try to use tabbing to get the result that I want, but I will try first to

do
it in excell.

I would once again advise that the "2 pages per sheet" setting in Page

Setup
is more satisfactory for this type of layout than "2 pages per sheet" in

the
Print dialog because you can design the pages at actual size and not be
having to calculate larger fonts, etc., for reduction.

Hi Weezie

I want to create a simple to-do type page for my day-planner.
I tried to do this using mirror image formatting with a page-fold,

but
it printed each side on a separate page.
I want it to print on one page so that I can cut it in

half(landscape)

Setup up the document as portrait, and select "2 pages on 1" in the
print dialog (bottom right hand side).

Depending on what exactly it is you are doing, Excel or Outlook might

be
more straight-forward.
