How to print one A4 page as two A5 pages in Microsoft Word
It’s a common problem: you have written your article, poster, flyer or handout on an A4 page in MS Word, and you suddenly think to yourself, “I could do with printing two of these per page at A5 size”.
Figure 1: Initial A4 Page
Now, Word has what looks like the perfect option; the ‘Pages per Sheet’ dropdown in the Print dialog box.
Figure 2: Print dialog with 2 pages selected
Trouble is, if you pick this option, what you get is this:
Figure 3: A5 page, but only one on A4
No problem, you think, I’ll just choose 2 copies in the print dialog. Unfortunately, what this gives you is two copies of Figure 3; you don’t get the two A5 copies side by side on one sheet, but instead you get two bits of A4 paper, with the same wasted space on the right.
At this point you probably bite the bullet and copy your A4 page onto another page, so your source document is now two pages long, page two being a duplicate of page one. This is less than ideal because any subsequent changes will have to be made to both pages, increasing the risk of errors creeping in, and also wasting valuable time.
Figure 4: Two separate A4 pages
There is a better way! My method uses just one A4 page, so any changes need only be made once. All you need to do, in the Print dialog box, is change the ‘Page Range’ from All to Pages: 1,1. Remember to keep ‘Pages per Sheet’ set to 2.
Figure 5: Print dialog with custom page range selected
VOILA! Your A4 page is now perfectly printed as 2 A5 pages, side by side on a single A4 sheet.

I just know that there will come a day when I hit this problem and will be glad that I have ‘bookmarked’ Iain’s very clearly documented solution.
As ever well thought out and useful material.
Thank you. I’ve been searching for this solution for a while. New problem, though, is I have a 200+ page document that I need to print this way. I can only type in around 46 pages. Any thoughts?
Do you mean that you want to duplicate each page twice on an A4 sheet, and have been typing in ’1,1,2,2,3,3′ and so on? The only reason I wanted to do this was to avoid wasting paper when printing a single A4 page twice as A5; we then guillotined them to make two A5 flyers.
If you have more than one page you can simply ignore the ’1,1′ bit and just set the ‘Pages per sheet’ to 2. This will then print the first and second pages on one A4 sheet, the third and fourth pages on the second A4 sheet, and so on. If you choose multiple copies of the document it will start again after the final page.
Have I understood you correctly? The only way I can see this being a problem is if you really must print two copies of the first page on the first A4 sheet, and two copies of the second page on the second A4 sheet. I just can’t see why you’d want to do that; if like me, you’re guillotining them it doesn’t matter what order they come in, you just don’t want any wasted paper.
Thank you so much for such a useful description!! Was getting increasingly frustrated that I couldn’t remember how to do this and every option I tried wasn’t quite right so I thought I’d google it just in case and voila!
It’s a pleasure; glad it’s useful to more people than just me
I know what you mean; having spent ages banging my head against the wall, once I finally worked it out I thought “I must write this down”, hence the blog post.
So what do you do if you want to print 4up on an A4 sheet?
All you do is pick ’4 pages per sheet’ and type ’1,1,1,1′ in the Page Range box.
Thanks so much! Any ideas on how to do it landscape though?
This was a wonderful clearly documented guide. I’m really thankful to you.
Thank you so much
Thanks very much for your explanation – it’s been tough trying to find an easy solution to a common problem. Another Word failure!
thanks so much. had tried and exhausted many avenues. was pulling my hair out….so THANKS!!
Just woooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!
thx a lot for simplified explaination …
Oh my goodness, thats brilliant and soooo easy!! I’ve been trying to do it for so long and have asked so many people. Your explanation and use of copying the page made it so much better. Thank you, thank you.
This is very useful lateral thinking! Saved me hours of experimentation…
If you want to print landscape A5 pages top to bottom on portrait A4, the solution is slightly different:
1. go to File | Page Setup
2. on the ‘Margins’ tab, set the following:
> Orientation: Portrait
> Multiple Pages: 2 pages per sheet
> [if you have more than one section] Apply to: Whole document
3. on the ‘Paper’ tab, set Paper size to A4
4. Click OK.
5. Print with 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4… in the pages box in the print dialog (as described in the article). You do not need to / cannot set the ‘Pages per sheet’. Just leave it at 1.
Alternatively, if all this is too much for you, never underestimate the power of brute force: print one page to a sheet, then turn the paper round 180 degrees and run it back through the printer!
A handy addition, should you find yourself with an A5 document that needs similar treatment (as opposed to an A4 original). Thanks for contributing!
Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to do it all afternoon.
Vikki
thank you! but how do you print out 2 different a4 pages?
If you have two different A4 pages in the same document, then you don’t have to worry about putting 1,1 in the ‘Pages’ box. You can just leave it as Print All (but remember to still pick 2 Pages in the ‘Pages per sheet’ dropdown list).
Very usefull! Thanks a lot!
This is so helpful, thanks. Is it possible to go one step further – I want to print 4 up, ie A6, but I want to print across the long side not the short side. The idea is I print in two columns, and can then fold in the middle to make an A6 folded card . . . rotating doesn’t do it, and I’m stuck – any ideas would be gratefully appreciated! Chris
I am still confused… I wish to print a book I have written in A5 on an A4 sheet. It would be more efficient if I could print Page one in A5 twice on A4 for a total of 144 sheets then cut in ‘half’ producing two books. My printer a HP 2055d can do duplex at 1.8 seconds per page. However, if I print in A5, I must manually feed for duplex, which takes 9.2 (per side) seconds/sheet.Most unsatisfactory
What if I have two different A4 pages, but want to print them both as A5 on an A4 sheet?
Then all you need to do is open up the Print dialog as usual (Ctrl-P) and pick ’2 pages’ in the ‘Pages per sheet’ dropdown. The settings in Figure 2, above, would work perfectly for you.
Is there a way I can print an A5 booklet where the original, lets say for sake of simplicity runs to 8 A4 pages. I have a duplex printer.
So the first sheet would have page 1 & 8 on one side, 2 & 7 on the other,
the second sheet would have 3 & 6 with 4 & 5 on the other side.
This is fantastic. I have searched long and hard and wondered how this could be done. These instructions are very well documented and beats some of the more complex instructions of help, found within the product.
Hi, i did the 2 on a page thing. but its printing all wonky now and small. See, my A4 poster was out of the margins…..now i click 2 to a page and they are small, wonky and not in the same sorta margin (but for a 2 page)…if u gett me? I just want the a4 poster thing…. with the same margins…. but as 2 to a page. Its really frustrating me…Help??
Hi Can someone help me,I am trying to do the same(print 2 a5 sheets on 1 a4,but my printer dialog box is different from the one shown.I am trying to print from microsoft word and my dialog box says pages 1 to 1 and it wont let me put in 1,1.Please help
Awesome thanks so much!
I join with all the thanks and encouragement above. Not only did you solve my immediate problem, which has been tormenting me for months, you’ve given the key to solve many similar layout difficulties. Many many thanks!
Thank thank you so much for the information,i can’t tell you how much paper i have wasted cutting down to a5. My son my daughter and myself thank you, thank you, thank you.
This site is now top of my favorites! I have been asked to design a poster on behalf of my Wife for our local Pre-school, which I have done without a problem. I enjoy having a “play” with my new Microsoft Word package and my printer, as it gives me more experience towards hopefully a new career in I.T or similar environment (I’m currently working towards my ECDL). The school has requested a normal A4 poster, and also an A5 plus 4 copies on one A4 sheet. Well thanks to my new knowledge in word processing etc, I thought this would not be a problem. How wrong I was… After trying for several hours and wasting paper and ink attempting to print their other requests, I eventually Googled the problem and stumbled upon this great site. Thank you, thank you thank you. Excellent solutions to what seems at first to be a simple task…….Once again thank you.
wow, have been struggling with this for a while, thanks loads!!!
That’s brilliant! Thanks Iain.
THANK YOU
it didnt work the first time, but it did the second! Flaming hours of wasted time, ta ta ta ta ta
xxxxx
Thank you very much! Fab Guide!
thanks so much for this tip, I’ve been pulling my hair out for over an hour before Googling.
Thanks for this tip. Saved me a lot of time.
Wow! Thanks soooooo much! You have saved me ages! I was doing my psychology project in A5 format, but then I realised that I have no idea how to print 2 pages on 1 A4 and that I will probably have to cut them out and waste sooo much paper…
:):)
Soooo THANK YOU!
Now why can’t you find this in the manual.
God bless Google, the internet and you.
Thank you.
THANK YOU!! Luckily I googled it before wasting my time getting frustrated and I’m very glad I did!! SO simple when you know how!! Again, thank you!
After many wasted pages and following the exact path as laid out which made me LOL when reading I too had success so Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, can you not write the manuals for inserting formulas in excel?
Iain, I wanted to print 4up on an A4 sheet and having spent considerable time without success, I was delighted to find your blog on how to do this – pick ‘4 pages per sheet’ and type ‘1,1,1,1′ in the Page Range box.
Thank you so much for your post on this.
Many Thanks. You are a genius!!
Should’ve done this ages ago. Before I got banned from the School Libary for 6 months for printing too many pages.. and ended up throwing them in the bin anyway..
I’ve got a question.. Do you do the (1,1) thing if you want the two a5 pages on the a4 sheet if you want them to be different..?
Or do you do (1,2)? Sorry, confused.
If you have two different A4 pages that you’d like to print on a single piece of A4 paper, then you can just choose ‘Print Range: All’ in the Print window. This is exactly the same as doing (1,2).
This worked !!!
Now how do I do the same thing with publisher, the print box does not give you the same options.
I’m not an expert on Publisher (nor Word, really) but my printer allows me the option of printing ’2 Pages per sheet’ when I click on the ‘Properties’ button in the Print dialog box. This might work for you, but it’s a printer-specific workaround, so no guarantees…
This worked, however only when the scaling of paper size was changed from ‘No Scaling’ to ‘A4′.
‘Tis true, works perfectly. Thanks, ’cause I wasted an hour then read this and avoided wasting another one!
Thank you very much – fantastic result ! Much appreciated !
Hey thanks a lot for this.
I was searching for this for a long time and had to settle for less-ideal results all the time. Now no worries in printing those handbills and stuff for my business.
Thanks once again. Keep up the good work !!
Hi do you have any suggestions for printing 3 DL size copies on one A4 page ?? Your tutorial for 2 A5 copies for A4 paper was very helpfull.
Sadly not, other than “Don’t use Word”. If you can get hold of Publisher (or a proper DTP program) you’ll probably have more luck with that. Sorry!
Help I must be the only person who can’t access anything that tells me the sheets per page?
I have Word 2008 on an apple mac -still trying to figure out how to do it!As my version doesnt look like the one in the pics.Can you assist please?
Ahhah Please dont take any notice of my previous message as I ve just figured out where the sheets per page setting is!Have succeeded in two A5 posters thanks!! Happy bunny…
Thanks very much mate – been trying to work this out for a LONG time. Cheers very much.
Hi, thanks for the tut, really useful. I am trying to print a book with 638 pages using PDF writer. I want to print double sided and 2 pages on 1 side to make a5 when cut. My problem is this: I managed to do the above but only realised that page 1 and 2 could not be on the same side if this was to read like a book- The sequence I need is pages 1 and 3 on one side then pages 4 and 2 on the other side so that when cut page 2 appears on the other side of page 1. Sounds very confusing- probably a very simple solution but not good at this stuff HELP!!
Thanks very much for sharing this tip. Have spent hours trying to work this out!
Thank yo so much for this tip I have just used and saved HOURS of time!
Thanks again.
Thanks a lot. Your info save my time. Just wonder how it done…problem solve!
that’s the solution for portrait, what about landscape? It ends up printing in a6 side by side very annoying.
thanks
Good lord! I tell you, I was ready for the monumental battle of a lifetime then; you solved my issue in doublequick time! Thank you so much.

Catherine
Good job. It really helped me.
Thanks.
Wonderful solution clearly explained. Trees will love you for this.
Thats great, I wasted long time to fing how to make A5 brozure, now I found it, BIG thanks.
thank you a great help
This is exactly what I was looking for, Perfect!! Thanks for taking the time to post this for our benefit!
Well everyone else has already said it but You are brilliant and your blood is worth bottling! (complement in Australia) Saved me so much time and effort.
Haha I love it
Glad it was useful.
Could you help me to change a single A4 page (with text on it) into a single A5 page? How do I do this without getting an A5 page on which all the text is skewed and compressed on the A5?
Thanks.
Fabulous! Why was I never taught this before?! Thank you so very much
Hi Jack,
Isn’t that what you get if you just pick ’2 Sheets per page’ in the print options? You get your single A4 page shrunk down to A5 size (and half an A4 page of balnk space – see Figure 3 above).
best solution ever, very easy and straight forward!
Hiya, Wondering if you could help, having major problems in Word 2010, when I went to change my initial A4 doc to A5 to print two on one page and follow the instructions above it doesn’t resize my document from A4 to fit onto A5, instead keeping everything A4 size and fitting it onto about 5 A5 sheets by splitting up the text/pictures etc. I managed to get it to print once as per your ‘print screen #3′ above, but this was before I read your instructions as to putting the 1,1 in the pages box, and now cannot get it to go back to resizing the document to A5 again. Have I pressed something and saved it accidentally which means it is not allowing it to resize onto A5, it’s very frustrating!
Thanks for a really simple, easy to follow set of instructions though
Cheers
Thanks so much, I’ve spent hours trying to do this and with your help its finished in just minutes!
Many thanks for this, it’s going to be a great help. However, I have a question. When I did this, the first flyer (on the left) had a much larger margin than the one on the right. I guess this is something to do with allowing room for the grippers to grip the paper, but I don’t know how to alter this. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Sally
Hi Sally,
My only suggestion would be to look at the margins, which are managed in the ‘Page Setup’ screen or ‘Page Layout’ tab (depending on your version of Word).
Good luck!
Iain.
What a star !!
Thank you VERY much for this ! (good old internet you can find out how to do anything thanks to people like this
Thank goodness for this page, really thought I had messed up when i realised I hadn’t set the page to a5 first
Iain you absolute gem! My problem was exactly as shown in figure 3 and just could not work out why considering I had selected the 2 pages per sheet option. Thank you so much for giving and showing such a simple and clear explanation to a truly frustrating dilemma. Now I just have to make sure I feed the paper back in the right way to print page 2of the flyer
Many thanks again.
You are a legend. Thanks so much for this info.
Was extremely helpful!!! You are legend for posting this..
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you sooooo much. Saved me so much time and effort. Cheers!
Thank you
Brilliant!
Thanks so much – I have been struggling with this issue for YEARS!!!!
Thanks; so much simpler than what I was trying to do!
You are a hero! Thanks so much for this
Thanks man. Was losing the will to live over this one.
Thank you SO MUCH for this info – have been sweating over the computer for two days trying to work out how to put my A4 in 4 x A6 on one page. So easy when you know how, isn’t it?!!!
Thanks again – most appreciated.
Regards
Paula
This is very useful thanks a lot.
I have also been trying to find A5 paper size on Word 2010 but it does not seem to be present, any ideas on how I can print off my documents onto A5, it does not give me the A5 option at all!!! Very frustrating.
So you have A5 paper in your printer? I found A5 paper under the Page Layout > Size button. The other place to look is in Print > Preferences.
Good luck!
You have saved me printing out 175 sheets of A4, I will book mark this as it is nice to know there is someone out there who knows a bit
Thank you this was most useful and saved me lots of time.
I have an A5 document that I need to print on an A4 piece of card, but it needs to be double sides- what dettings do I use then?
Brilliant! Thanks so much.
Thank you. You are the man. Period.
Great – I used your advice to get an A4 image X 2 in A5, but they have a border and it now doesn’t fit around contents?
Please help!
Thank you for the simple way you explain it.
Thank you so much, you have saved me a lot of time!!!
Thankyou!! This is great i have been trying for ages to get this to work. I will be bookmarking this page for sure:)
Thank you, it was driving me mad trying to work out how to do this. I think I love you!!
Haha – a declaration of love is not a bad way to mark the 100th comment on this post! Thank you Sharon
I have a file of 8 pages-a4 (16 pages-a5). I did set up to print 2 pages on one page already i.e 16, 1 , 2,15,… Because I want to fold an a4 into a5 so I need to set a sequence specifically. However it works fine for page 3 thru 15. But for “page 16 and 1″ , which is a cover of this small booklet, they were printed on the same side, the left side of a4 and left blank for the right side.
Pls help me.

Hi – really good solution. I have a related problem which someone may be able to help with. I produce a large booklet in Word and send the files to a printer. I have always done it using A4 page sizes but the actual booklet it A5. I realised that the all the margin/font sizes would be halved and so just doubled them up.
The booklet contains many contributions/adverts from others and as we’ve had confusion on minimum font size the printer has suggested that all the pages are set to A5 (with the correct size fonts etc). This is where it seems to go wrong. I set the Page Size to A5 but only seem to get a correct layout if I also set Pages to “Bookfold”. The pages then look ok on screen but if I try to print they come out (on A4 paper) smaller than A5 and also the Zoom options (used in the solution above) are greyed out. Like all Word problems this is driving me mad !!!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I have spent 2 days trying to figure this out after buying a brand new computer and printer and I NEED this feature to do my work. I was getting SOO fustrated and upset and was close to taking my printer back because I didn’t think it could do it!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sooooooooo much have spent weeks trying t get this right to print flyers for my new buisness rather than pay a printers…have asked so called computer wizz kids and though they all had ideas none worked… u need to bottle and sell this info its a must..again many many thanx
I was wondering how to do this on Publisher? I have tried and tried and cannot figure it out! The document I am trying to print has been done on a full page A4 and all I want to do is print it off A5 size, 2 per sheet. I have tried to change it under the print settings to 2 per sheet (which Im sure has worked in the past but isn’t now!!!!) What am I doing wrong or missing? Please can you help me?
No idea re: MS Publisher. Can anyone else help?
Many Thanks for that!!!!!!!!!!!! Much appreciated!
A great help, thank you
Only just found this website! Anyone familiar with Mac OS 10.5 which is what I am using?
I have typed a document of several pages of text. I am using a Macbook and therefore initially use font size 16 so as to be able to read what I am typing and then change to size 10 before printing. This can be printed onto A4 sheets without problem. But if I want to use A5 paper the text still thinks it’s heading for A4 and goes off the bottom. What must I do to ensure that it breaks up into A5 chunks? (I have tried specifying A5 wherever I can.)
I have never needed to do this before It must surely be a simple matter but I have to admit it beats me!.
John
Thank you X 10! I have searching for this procedure for ages but your superbly clear instruction are just the ticket!
thank you! the first result in my search. brilliant, i’ll pass this on and NEVER forget it!
Pure genius! I had failed x6 to print 4 up…
Thank you so much. Saved my life………. Have been pulling my hair out trying to do this
Thank you so much, you saved me loads of time and paper. I rarely post comments but this was a real find.
Well a lot of thanks are flying about solving this problem, but alas it hasn’t worked for me. I’ve followed the instructions to a letter, the page setup shows that it’s set for 2 pages A5 landscape per A4 portrait but it prints just one page A5 Landscape on the A4 in landscape. I’m using Windows 2010 Printing with a Kodak ESP 7250 is it a particular problem with either system.Hope there’s some help out there.
also been looking for this for ages. Made things so easy1
Thanks!
so how do you get the landscape a4 page changed so you can get 2 a5 flyers on the one a4 sheet to begin with?
Thank you very much! This worked perfectly.
solved a real problem for me. many thanks
AMAZING !!!! thank you sooooo much
Thanks – really useful and easy to follow tutorial
Gracias, eres muy inteligente y me has dado una solución que no había logrado encontrar por años. I thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this really useful description, I will use it for some party invites that I am putting together…
how easy was that – thanks heaps. Trying to do flyers – saved lots of time & money thanks to you!
Thank you for this. However, I still have a problem! Although I now have two A5 flyers side-by-side there two sides are not both central….when I cut the page into two equal halves the flyer on the right hand side is perfectly centered, but the one on the left hand side is way off to the right… What have I done wrong?!?! I would really appreciate any help, I’m feeling very stupid here….
THANK YOU!!!
Hi,
I have set all specification as described, but the egde of the second page is cut. so, the left side os all ok, and the right one, no.
I have printed two diffrent pages (1,2)
any ideas?
thanks
Ron
Genius, thanks!!!
Hi,
This Print page technique is enabled only for word / any other document except the PDF..Please, find a better solution for printing a same PDF document-twice-on-one-piece-of-a4-paper..?
while printing the PDF document the default option is enabled in page range : / other options are disabled.
Thanks In Advance..!!
Thank you so much, fantastically clear explanation. Google and you have saved me so much time on my childs party invites!!
Thank you – this had worked perfectly for me – even managed to do 2 pages with back to back printing! Now I need to cut the page to separate my flyers …. a line down the middle would be useful, so I don’t get a wonky cut. Any suggestions as to how I can print a line down the middle?
Desperately wanting to do this but I have an a4 document in landscape and want two a5 copies on one sheet… make sense? Is my only option to turn it around so the page setup is portrait? If so how? I have an imported table from excel….
Thanks boss. Your article solved my problem. It was really helpful. Thanks again.
Brilliant! I’d already spent way too much time on trying to work this out, so thank you!
Occam’s razor strikes again; simple, elegant … and it works perfectly!
Thanks very much!
It’s perfect but for one thing … when one cuts down the centre to create the 2 A5 flyers … they are not positioned centrally. Has anyone worked a solution for this problem?
Bottom line is that the 2 A5 flyers have different and noticeably misaligned margins.
Thanks
Thank you for the guildelines. It worked really well. We wanted to print 2 A4 papers onto one A4 sheet and make it A5. It beats doing it manually at the photocopier!
Mark, this is my problem and is also driving me mad. I have just tried going into custom margins where if you select 2 pages per sheet and landscape it actually resizes the two pages into A5. The margins print correctly but all the info has to be re-sized to fit the A5 page. But it’s the only solution I have managed to find so far!
For years I have been trying to copy and paste using 2 columns in word and failing miserably. I had just spent the last hour trying to do the same thing with a series of text boxes that I had shrunk to fit in half an A4 and when I pasted it did it on the same column . So in desperation I googled it and found you Iain and I am so delighted, you made it so simple I want to hug you and as I will be in Newport Pagnell on Saturday I may seek you out to do just that, you are my hero of the day!
Thank you, thanks you! I’ve been working on this problem all night and I’m so glad I found your explanation. It worked great! I’m so glad to find something that finally worked. Genius!
Thank you so much I have been trying to resolve for ages and your explanation is only a few clicks and works brilliant in a few seconds. You have made one person very very happy – Thanks again
Thank you so much. So simple when you know how!
Thank you soooo much for this post. Simple to follow (even for me) and was just what I was after. Result!
Thank you – Thank YOU – THANK YOU!!
Yes, this was extremely helpful. Thank you. Like others it saved me many wasted hours of frustration.
A couple of queries I would like answered please.
1. I cannot increase the font for 4 on a page and there is plenty of room left on the page for this to occur, so I still end up with a lot of wasted paper.Currently the print is miniscule and I would like to resize to at least Times New Roman 14.
2. Also PAGES PER SHEET in the Dialogue box only offers even numbers of pages i.e. 2,4,6,8 etc. If I wanted 3 to a page no can do!!! Any ideas on how to do these tasks would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much
Jenni
Thank you, Thank you. Was starting to tear my hair out. So simple once you know how to get round the system.
This is fantastic! Thankyou so much. This has saved me soooo much time. I used to go to Staples, shrink the print, cut it so I had 2xA5 then stick these side by side on an A4 and would then photo copy to get fliers.Luddite r what. Thankyou,thankyou!
Such a simple way to solve an irritating problem.
Thank You
Many many thanks.I print a lot of flyers for my friend who does a charity dance once or twice a year and this has been a great problem for me until now.You are my saviour.
i am trying to print landscape in a5 and when i follow your isntructions on the page setup screen as soon as i hit ok it says “settings you chose for the left and right margins, column spacing, or paragrapht indents are too large for the page width in some sections” I am so frustrated, i tried everything to fix it, but the whole document loses it’s format if i make changes. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thank you for your help. I was getting really frustrated . All sorted now .
I love people like you who think of sharing great tips like this one. Think how many wasted hours you have saved so many of us… bless you!
Ta ever so! Love people who are generous enough to share!
Thank you so much for this I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to do this!! What a relief.
[...] The link is HERE. [...]
thanks, helped me a lot!
Thanks for the solution Iain. This is something that seems like it should be so easy, but turns out to be frustrating as hell. I made an a6 flyer (changed the paper size to a6) and printed it on one a4 sheet using your settings. I find it intersting that it counts 1 page (4 copies) as 1 copy.
It’s easy when you know how and now I do. Thanks for sharing this tip
Many thanks – have been bashing my head against a brick wall up until I found this – Cheers
Thanks!!!!!!! So damn simple!!!!! Why didn’t I think of that??!
Saved me hours of work. Many thanks
Amazing!!
Many thanks for the clear explanation. I’ve been tearing my hair out for the last two hours!
Cheers!
GENIUS!! Thank you.
Thanks for a quick solution to a very practical problem. In my opinion it is silly that this kind of ‘workaround’ is needed, but I’m grateful for the clear instructions.
Absolutely brilliant – been playing about with this for an hour without success. Go on the web and find the solution in 2 seconds!!
Many thanks
You are a genius! How come Word ‘Help’ doesn’t give this. It is such a useful utility.
Many, many thanks.
Thank you so much! It’s just the information I was looking for. I do have one problem though. I’ve borders around the text and when I print it this way, the borders do not fit. Any suggestions?
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for posting this it helped me no end.
Thank you so much!
Ever so grateful. So far, I used to create a new a5 document, this safes so much time. Thank you very much for sharing.
thank you soooooooooooo much has taken me a week looking for how to do this
Thank you SO much – having spent all day trying with no luck, found your posting and did it in 10 minutes – thank you!
Thaaanx a lot dear..
I was so confused about this, I have no words to express my gratitude. Thaanx again…
Thanks so much for this. I had the exact problem that you explained in your post. I did the 1,1 trick and it worked perfectly. Why can it not made just as simple in the print display window I wonder? Thanks again.
