Can I print two pages onto one sheet of paper?
I want to reduce the page size in printing from a4 to a5, but by selecting
'zoom 2 pages' in the print menue the printer spits out a page where both document pages are side to side, effectively reducing the size to a quarter of the original size. What do I do wrong? I am using MS Office Word 2003. |

Sue
Check that you haven't applied any scaling in the print menu, as this can cause the problems you are experiencing. It sort of makes sense to scale to A5 if you want to on a page, but if you also select two pages per sheet then Word sort of doubles shrinks. So only select the option to print '2 Pages per sheet' Hope this makes sense!

One way to do this is to convert the file to a .pdf. Adobe Reader will allow
you to print the resulting .pdf file as multiple pages per sheet. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, you can always download PrimoPDF from www.primopdf.com and use that. I especially like the price - free. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Sue" wrote in message ...

Hmm ... haven't even thought about this one. But sadly no, I had no scaling.
I suspect the problem has something to do with the paper orientation, because in order to put two pages on one sheet they have to be turned sideways. I tried to switch it in the printer properties page, but it didn't listen to me. Thanks anyway.

Sounds good. I have the Adobe Reader, but how do I produce the .pdf file? Is
there a generic printer driver I can use? "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: One way to do this is to convert the file to a .pdf.

Ups ... that took too long to sink in. Thanks for the tip.
I tried it and it works ok, just the quality of the pics seems to go down a bit. But its a great help. Tried some more and found out that the initial problem only seems to appear when starting with a landscape formatted document (portrait orientation seems to work fine). Is that a Word problem or is it me? Cheers Sue "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Like I said - download Primo PDF. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Sue" wrote in message ... Sounds good.

If you have a landscape formatted document, I have found that I needed
to set a 'landscape' option. Under File / Print, click on 'Properties' and then on the 'Features' tab (assuming you have it...I am using Word2002 under XP) On this tab, in the 'orientation' area, click on Landscape (it should show you a picture of how it will look). Also, a little further down the window click on 'Multiple Pages per Sheet' and make sure the '2 pages per sheet' is checked. -- Ian Totman Toronto |

The settings you describe are specific to your printer driver (once you get
into Properties from the Print dialog, you're in printer territory). Word offers two ways to print two pages per sheet, one for setting up the document that way (in Page Setup) and one for shrinking two existing pages (in the Print dialog). -- Suzanne S.
