two-column centering
I'm doing a flyer, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, two to a page. How can I get the right and
left margins to be the same on each flyer? In other words, how can I center both sides of the page, both columns, so they have the same right and left margins. I will print the page and cut in half to create two flyers. Also, how do I put paper in the printer to get the back side to print correctly? thanks... |

two-column centering
One easy way, if you have Word 2000 or above, is to use the "2 pages per
sheet" option in Page Setup (not the one in the Print dialog) to create two logical pages on a physical page. Then just set up one flyer and copy/paste it to the second "page" or print the single page twice by telling Word to print "Pages 1, 1." If you want to continue to use columns, however, make the distance between columns the sum of your left and right margins. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingColumns.htm Printing the second side is a matter of trial and error. You'll need to test your printer to see how you have to orient the paper to print the back side. If it's a duplex printer, set it to "flip" on the short edge rather than the long. -- Suzanne S.
