4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Years
About 2 years ago, I got some help from Suzanne Barnhill via this forum and
was able to develop on my own the Macro shown below. I cannot remember all that I did then or what all of these commands mean. However, I do know that with a page set up for 4.25 X 5.5 " paper and looking the way I want it to, this Macro will cause four identical copies of the page to print on one sheet of 8.5 X 11" paper -- one in each quadrant of the page. Question -- Is there some set of commands that I can use directly from the print window in word to accomplish the same thing for one specific page -- e.g., page 5. (I seemed to figure it out a couple of years ago but have now forgot how). Word version is 2002.

4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Years
Well, I can tell you that I didn't supply the macro, but you can accomplish
the same thing manually by selecting "4 pages per sheet" in the Print dialog and pasting the sequence 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7, 7,7,7,8,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,10,1 0,10,10 in the Pages box.

4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Ye
Suzanne --
What you describe is exactly the way that I expected it to work. However, it is not working that way for me now. For whatever reason, the macro works just fine. However, when I manually select 4 pages per sheet and put in page 5,5,5,5 (for example), and then click on print -- what I get is four sheets, all with the 4.25 X 5.5 print of page 5 in the upper left hand corner. When I do this, I get a message on my printer that it expects special paper -- e.g. 4.25 X 5.5 -- I get it to print by pushing the "continue" button (it's an HP 4P). My memory is that 2 years ago pushing the continue button was not necessary -- but nothing has changed in terms of hardware or soft wear since that time. As I said, the Macro does work just fine on this same printer, but it is as if I need somehow to tell the printer that the paper is not really 4.25 X 5.5, it is really 8.5 X 11. However, I've tried a lot of things with no success. So, I am looking for any additional ideas. Thanks -- Best Regards, Bo_Jack "Suzanne S.

After sending my first follow-up, I decided to try the way you describe (and

4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Ye
The original document is 8.5" x 11", right? So there is no reason for Word
or the printer to think that the paper is a special size. You might check the printer Properties to make sure you haven't selected an N-up layout there. Also, in Word's Page Setup, on the Paper tab, make sure that you have Auto Select selected for the paper tray. -- Suzanne S.

4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Ye
No. In the original document (i.e., the WORD file) I have the paper size set
at 4.25 X 5.5". This way the document looks right on the screen in page layout mode. If I change the paper size to 8.5 X 11" in the WORD file, the lines which have wrapped "correctly" in the original document now are spread across the sreen (as I would expect them to); so, I cannot tell what they would look like in the final document. However, since the macro does work correctly on this printer and the manual process does work as expected on a different printer -- I probably will just chauk this up as a "glitch" that I cannot figure out and live with what I have. If I do get it figured out, I will post a follow-up. Thanks for the suggestions. -- Best Regards, Bo_Jack "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The original document is 8.5" x 11", right?

4.25 X 5.5 Printing -- Need Help Understanding What I Did 2 Ye
Okay, in this case you're dealing with an entirely different issue. The "4
pages per sheet" setting in the Print dialog is intended to reduce a full-size sheet to 1/4-page size. So to use this setting you must create your document full-size (and this actually works better with European A sizes, which all have the same aspect ratio, than with US Letter). And I can't imagine how the macro in question could work for a document set up at 1/4 size. -- Suzanne S.
