2 A5's on A4
I wish to create A5 portrait documents, printed to an A4 sheet in landscape
(2 per sheet, side by side). How do I do this in Word? -- Many Thanks Enquirer |

G'Day Enquirer,
Basically you do exactly as YOU describe. New Document Paper A4 Orientation Landscape Create a table with two columns, and one row. Place the Insertion Point within the table and: FormatBorders and Shading Select None - the table may still be seen (light grey) while editing, but the Lines will not print. Place a 'page' (A5) of text in each cell. Fiddle with the paper (A4) margins, and the Table margins to suit! IF the page (A5) on the right, follows on from the page (A5) on the left, you can use two Columns instead of a Table. FINALLY, search for Help on "Booklet" - that may give you some more Ideas. If booklets fit the bill, have a look at Microsoft Publisher which comes with some versions of Office. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "enquirer" wrote in message ...

If you have Word 2000 or above, use the "2 pages per sheet" option in Page
Setup (not the one in the Print dialog). This will give you two logical pages per physical page. They can be handled in every way just like single pages but will print two to a sheet. -- Suzanne S.

in addition to the other suggestions, you might want to check out
"FinePrint" which I have used with great success. It's a printer driver rather than an add-in to word, so it works with all applications. It can even print double-sided booklets on a single-sided printer (so one sheet might contain pages 3 and 57 on the front, and 4 and 58 on the back) "enquirer" wrote in message ...
