MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / April 20082 Pages Per Print Word 2007
Hi, I'm trying to print 2 pages per page in landscape orientation using word 2007. Whilst this seems to work for text only documents, text and image combinations do not work. I've tried putting the images in the header of the document and also in a table layout but in both cases the image is only printed on the first page and not the second. Any ideas on this? I need to print about 150 pages using mail merge with 2 pages per sheet. You can reproduce this behaviour by creating a two page document, add some clip art to the top of each page, change the margins to custom and 2 pages per sheet and then print. Thanks Note that choosing "2 pages per sheet" alters the size of the pages in the Word document. As far as I know, all you can do is manually move graphics to fit within the new page margins.  SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks Hi Stefan, Yes I understand the page margins will change to fit 2 pages per sheet but I still expect the graphics to behave in the same way as the text. Am I missing something? If I have an image centered on page 1 & 2 and I print with 2 pages per sheet I would expect the image to be displayed on both sides of the new landscape orientated page. What appears to happen is that the image from page 2 is printed directly over the top of the image from page 1... > Note that choosing "2 pages per sheet" alters the size of the pages in the > Word document.

The problem is that when the page is resized, the anchor paragraphs move, and the graphics move with them. Have you considered setting the text wrap to "In line with text"? SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > Hi Stefan, > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> > >> > Thanks Hi Stefan, The default seems to be inline with text but it doesn't work. I think your description below describes what I would expect to see but it seems to me this isn't happening, if it was the I would expect to see the image displayed in the correct place. My doc is structured like below Image text text text text text text page break Image text text text text text text when I print 2 pages per sheet I'm expecting something like below Image Image text text text text text text text text text text but I get Image text text text text text text text text text text any other ideas? > Each object in the drawing layer is anchored to a text paragraph.

That should keep the graphic and the following paragraph together. But, again, on which page they both end up depends on the (re-)flow of text. Just to be clear: You are not saying that the graphics disappear, are you, just that they aren't where you expect them to be? SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > Hi Stefan, > [quoted text clipped - 83 lines] >> >> > >> >> > Thanks Hi Stefan, Not sure exactly what you mean by "keep with next". My image is at the top of the document and then there is a paragraph of text below it. This is repeated on the next page and I need to print them both on to the same page. Yes can confirm the image is printed twice, it looks like it is just on the first page but on closer inspection it is printed directly over the top of the first image. Have you been able to try this and get it working? > If each graphic is "In line with text," you can format the paragraph into > which it is inserted as "Keep with next" (Paragraph dialog box, Line and [quoted text clipped - 92 lines] > >> >> > > >> >> > Thanks "Keep with next" is a paragraph property; you'll find it on the Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box. To display the dialog box: On the Home tab, click the dialog launcher button in the Paragraph group. And, yes, for me it seems to be working with "In line with text" objects (tested with clipart and pictures) and "Keep with next."

Is there any chance you can email me a copy of your doc that is working, I will try it here and see what happens.

The fact that the image prints but in the wrong location (i.e. directly over the top) would lead me to believe its a word issue though. > Well, since you are not seeing it, I guess it could be.

When I first encountered this issue (of course at the most inopportune time in front of a large audience. <g>) I don't recall if the document had multiple images but I remember the output was a jumbled mess. Once the printer driver was updated it printed correctly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs >I have tried it on 2 different printers and the problem occurs on both, > unlikely but I guess possible it could be printer driver.
