Default Two A5 pages on one A4 page

Interactions between Word and printers are complicated, and maybe they
depend on your make and model and driver of printer.

A convenient workaroud would be to print your document to pdf and then
print it out of Adobe Reader, which only messes with the scale when
the sizes don't come out even, which they will when you're doing A5 to
A4..

Hi,

I need to print an A5 document on A4 sheets with 2 A5 pages on one
sheet. So I tried the print 2 pages on one sheet functionality of
Word. Since an A5 sheet has exactly half the size of an A4 sheet; when
I cut the A4 sheet in two; a should be left with two A5 sheets as I
designed them in Word. But that is not the case, since Word shrinks
the two A5 sheets a bit and create an extra margin around them. I
would like for Word not to add any extra margins, just print the two
A5s on the A4 sheet, next to one another, so that when I cut the page
in two, I am left with two pages that have the exact layout of my A5
document in Word.

Any idea on how I can accomplish that? Or should I just create an A4
page with two columns an go with it like that? I hope not...

Kind regards,
Veerle
