Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
I have typeset a book with finished size to be 8.5" x 5/5" portrait 214
numbered pages, MS Word 2003 - XP OS. The Printer (Office Depot) asking for two copies of identical numbered pages on same 8.5" X 11" sheet. I can set up for printing two consecutively numbered pages on the same sheet, but she cannot set up her laser copier to then handle the two-sided printing. When I attempt to reconfigure the manuscript to print for book-fold, it messes up the margins and increases the page count considerably. Is there a way I can trick Word 2003 into printing 2 of the identically numbered 8.5 x 5.5 pages on the same 8.5 x 11 sheet without messing up the pagination? I would need to print all 214 pages in that manner. I am not a programer but up until I arrived at the printer, I thought sure I cut a fat hog with typesetting my manuscript and without wasting any paper. -- Book Bill |

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
It will not be easy, but, assuming that you have selected "2 pages per
sheet" in Page Setup, you can tell Word to print pages 1,1,2,2,3,3, etc. You'll have to do it in batches since there's a limit to the number of page numbers you can put in the "Pages" box at once. What *doesn't* work (though it would be really helpful if it did), is to ask for 2 copies of each page and tell Word not to collate. Logically, this ought to work, but unfortunately it doesn't. -- Suzanne S.

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
Dear Suzanne,
You are a sweetheart! Your solution is laborious yes, but no matter, it will get the job done. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with me. Maybe Microsoft will program a simpler solution into their next "Word". -- Book Bill "Suzanne S.

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
Yes, it really would make a lot of sense to make the "copies" option work
logically. I think I'll submit this as a "wish" for a future version. -- Suzanne S.

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
Suzanne,
I've run into a couple of glitches. My book has front matter that is not pagenated, followed by front matter that is pagenated in small case roman numerals. The print window will not accept entry of pages expressed in small case roman numerals. Thereafter, starts the first chapter and is pagenated -1-, -2-, -3- etc. to the end of the book. Printing the first 7 or 8 pages works OK as you suggested. When I enter in the print window, 13,13 and select 2 pages per sheet, it will print numbered page 13 (which is actually page 35 of the document) in duplicate on same sheet. Except, the copy on the right hand side of the sheet contains one line that is 2 or 3 lines on top of each other. The left side copy is perfect. The overstrike does not happen when I print 1 page per sheet. When I enter 11,11 it will print consecutive pages on each sheet and continue with additional pages in sequence until I cancell print. Any ideas? , -- Book Bill "Suzanne S.

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
Yes, Word doesn't speak Latin. You need to enter the page number as an
arabic numeral, followed by the section number. So, assuming your front matter paginated with roman numerals is section 2, then you would need to print p1s1,p1s1,p2s1,p2s1, etc. This really is a bummer, I know, but unfortunately, that's the only way I know of to get those pages. As for the later pages, I'm afraid you'll probably have to include section numbers with them as well, though I don't know whether that will settle the print issue or not. Do you in fact have these set up using "2 pages per sheet" in Page Setup, or are you using the Zoom "2 pages per sheet" setting in the Print dialog. That could well make a drastic difference. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Typesetter 2003" wrote in message ...

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
That does work. Also, if there is only one page in section 9, and that page
is "x" the print dialogue box requires that be input: p10s9,p10s9 I checked to see if the 2 pages on one sheet was selected in page set up, and it wasn't. It was showing "mirror", but when I changed it to "2 pages on 1 sheet" it threw the document off the cliff, so I "undid" it, and will continue to select 2 pages on one sheet in the print dialogue box.. I will work around the overstrike line by printing it singly, twice, then copy them side by side on a clean sheet. My readers will never know the difference. Anyway, thanks a bunch for your help. -- Book Bill "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yes, Word doesn't speak Latin. You need to enter the page number as an arabic numeral, followed by the section number.

Printing 2 identical numbered pages on one sheet
If there's only one page in a section, then you should be able to use just
the section number: s9, s9. If you are putting two pages on a sheet by reducing, then of course changing to "2 pages per sheet" in Page Setup would not work at all. I had thought that, since you had planned this page size from the outset, you would have used that setting to achieve that paper size. -- Suzanne S.
