See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/Print2Pages.htm. But if you have
Word 2000 or above, a *much* simpler solution is to use the "2 pages per
sheet" option in Page Setup. This gives you two logical pages per physical
page, and you can treat them just as you would a full page, including page
numbers, margins, page borders, etc.

Where would the "{ = 2 * { PAGE } - 1 }" and "{ = 2 * { PAGE }}" be
placed?

Would you refer me to a link that might elaborate on this? Thanks.

For the first column on the page, use the following field construction

{ = 2 * { PAGE } - 1 }

and for the second column use

{ = 2 * { PAGE } }
