I want to print 2 pages per sheet for Word 2007 --there is no option for
"multiple Pages drop down list"?

Click to expand...

On the Page Layout ribbon, click the tiny arrow button in the lower
right corner of the Page Setup group to open the Page Setup dialog.
The dropdown you want is in the center of the Margins tab of the
dialog.

Thank you --it worked. Why would Msft. put out something that is so hidden?
I think I will go back to my old Word editions.

Any way to do this using MS Word 2003? on the Page Setup, I don't see an
arrow like you specify.

Actually, what I really want to do is have 2 pages per 11x17 sheet with only
one header/footer. Is there a way to do that with 2003 or do I need to have
my office upgrade my computer to 2007 version?

thanks for the help!

In Word 2003, you get to the Page Setup dialog from the File menu, and the
"Multiple pages" list box is on the Margins tab.

Ah, so that is the same thing then. thanks!

Any idea on how i can view the layout of the two pages? I want to verify
that it's taking my 8x11 and transposing every 2 8x11 pages onto 11x17. It
seems the only way i can see if the page setup is working is if i print it to
adobe and view that way.

Thanks!! appreciate the help!

How funny... as soon as i post the question, i find the answer. I had to
create this using mirror margins and then insert 2 columns. I'm amused when
this happens! :p

If you select "Two Pages" in Print Layout view you should see two pages. You
can't see *facing* pages except in Print Preview, and then only if you have
enabled "Mirror margins" and/or "Different odd and even" (I think "Mirror
margins" may be enabled by default for "2 pages per sheet"; it is for "Book
fold").

It still does not print TWO on one sheet. It prints one half-sized page on
two sheets.

You may find what you're looking for in the Print dialog, instead. The lower
right corner contains a Zoom group -- select 2 pages per sheet there.

If you've created a single page and want to print it twice on one sheet, you
need to enter 1,1 in the Pages box in the Print dialog (this will be true
regardless of whether you're using the "2 pages per sheet" setting in the
Page Setup dialog or the one in the Print dialog). I suspect you're setting
the number of copies to 2, which might give the result you describe.

Breakdown: change "pages per sheet" to 2, then choose page range of 1,1.

What a pain.
