Default Multiple copies

How can i make a document that is 250 sheets of the same page ?

I would like to push print and receive multiple copies of a 250 page documents
each page is the same. Currently i need to scan the document 250 times then
save.

Is there a easier way

Paul

Of course there's an easier way. In the Print dialog, there is a "Number of
copies" setting.

Default Multiple copies

Hi Paul,

There are several different ways, none of which involve scanning anything
250 times.

Probably the easiest way is to first put one copy of the single page into a
document. Right-click in its first paragraph, choose "Paragraph" in the
context menu, go to the Line & Page Breaks tab of the dialog, and check the
box for "Page break before". Save it and close it.

Then start a new blank document, in which you insert an IncludeText field
pointing to the first document. (The easy way to do that is to use the
Insert File command, select the first document from the list, click the
down arrow next to the Insert button, and choose Insert As Link.) The
content of the first file will appear in the second file.

Now select everything except the final paragraph mark (easiest to see what
you're doing if you click the ¶ button to show nonprinting characters), copy
to the clipboard, press Ctrl+End, and paste. You now how two copies on two
pages. You could continue pasting another 248 times ;-) but it's faster to
again select everything except the final paragraph mark, copy to the
clipboard, press Ctrl+End, and paste. Each time you paste, you double the
number of pages: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and then 256. If you really want
exactly 250 pages, just delete the last six.

This method has an addition advantage: If you later decide you want to
change something in all the copies, just change it in the separate file that
holds the original. Then in the big document, press Ctrl+A and then F9 to
update all the IncludeText files.

Although Jay has suggested a method, the obvious question is why?
If all the pages are the same, create just one and print it as many times as
you need copies.

Graham, we mail out packages of 250, i print off a IR110, its so easy to tell
the IR110 to print 50 copies of a document "doc = 250 copies". In the past i
would make 25 copies and then scan it 10 times then save the file. I want to
thank all for the time and assistance given
