Precisely. It took me a while to realize the potential of "2 pages per
sheet" in Page Setup, but one very useful thing it can do is make it dead
easy to print two 3" x 4" name badge inserts on a 4" x 6" card. Given that
(a) the inserts that come with Avery name badges are virtually impossible to
get right the first time and (b) we reuse the name badges and consequently
need new inserts, I find that doing it this way is the easiest. I print them
2-up and then cut them in half.
I had done the job in the past using 3" x 4" table cells, but of course Word
gripes about the margins, and it's a lot harder to reprint a single badge,
or to print, say, badges 2 and 3 (as opposed to 1 and 2 or 3 and 4) on a
single card. "2 pages per sheet" just makes it so simple.

Hi Suzanne

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.
ah, there. Yes, I tend to overlook that one. I guess I find the
orientation hassle a bit strange. But it's still better to set it there,
because that's an actual property (on the document level, I presume)
which Word remembers. Anything in the Print dialog is gone next time you
enter it.
