Thread: Help with the &&*^%%$$# printer please

A couple ways come to mind.

1. a. Print on the upper half of the sheet.
b. Stack the results in the auxiliary tray with the blank part in the upper position.
c. Print the second stack. (Upside-down).
d. Cut the sheets.
(Experiment to determine which way is which.)
Cutting the paper first could bollix up the printer, BTW.

2. a. From acceptable screen image, press "Print Screen" key to save to ClipBoard.
b. Open MSPaint.
c. Edit Paste (from ClipBoard).
d. Increase size of workspace.
e. Edit Paste (again), and place below the first.
f. Save and Print.
(This can work for as many smaller copies as needed, per sheet.)

Cheers,
Joe

I suspect your problem is with telling Word to print two to a page.

When I had to do this, I set up my document, for mailmerge, as two forms on one A4 page. Then manipulated my merge data so that I had 'A' and 'B' data. Then set the form(s) to receive the 'A' data on the top form, and the 'B' data on the bottom one.

I'm not a word expert but I think Chris is on the money.... mind you, I have used Joe's first method before today.

Simplest trick probably is to do it as labels with a custom label size to give you two labels to an A4 sheet in whatever orientation you desire.
Place the layout in each half,ensyring that the second starts with the <<Next Record >> mailmerge command.

Mailmerge to a letter (what I suspect you are doing) will always start a new sheet of paper for each output item, so won't allow two items per page.

Print initial tests on standard paper and hold up to liht with dedicated sationary behind to check layout without wasting dedicated stock.

Should also be able to merge to file to check merge flow for all items.

Hope this helps

simplest way is create the doc on an A4 twice at A5 size per
