I have created a document with pages sized 4.25" x 5.5". I would like to print four of each page on regular 8.5" x 11" paper and then cut into four separate pages, thus creating four booklets at one printing. Because I have set mirror margins, it's not
working to copy and paste each page into labels (note cards). I'm also trying to preserve the page numbers. I tried to print pages 1,1,1,1 as described in another question, but then I have to change the page size and all of the formatting is messed up.
Any help will be appreciated.
Word itself doesn't offer a way to do what you ask, though there may be a setting in your printer Properties that would allow it, or you could accomplish this with a small document in Publisher, which can print small documents (such as individual business
cards) multiple times on a sheet.
As described in http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/2PagesPerSheet.htm, Word
offers two ways to print multiple pages. The "pages per sheet" setting in the
Print dialog reduces a full-sized page to print 2, 4, or more copies on a single page of the same size. The "2 pages per sheet" setting in the
Page Setup dialog allows you to create half-sized pages and print them on a single sheet. Neither of these will do what you want.
If your printer can accommodate "Statement"-sized paper (5.5" x 8.5"), then you could use "Book fold" to set up your document as a booklet and print it on the smaller paper (even if you have to cut the paper
to size yourself). This would actually work better than trying to print and cut and staple individual pages. The referenced article also describes booklet setup.
