I have a series of documents of custom size - my paper size is 10.5cm high by 29.7cm wide (ie, half A4 landscape)

I want to print the documents using the 2 pages per sheet or booklet options (ie, I want to print two of my half A4 landscape pages per one landscape piece of paper, and a similar layout in booklet style). However, both those options seem to turn my 10.5 x 29.7 into 10.5 x 14.8, whereas really I want to print two lots of 10.5 x 29.7 on 21 x 29.7

I've tried a few angles - using my custom size or A4 landscape, but both options only seem to be side by side, not above and below, which is what I want to achieve

Any ideas on how to do this using the page layout options

Otherwise, are there any macros available to do this kind of layout?

I think this could probably be done using vba. You would set up the
landscape page so that the bottom margin was such that each page was only
half full. You create your document with that set up. Then you would have
another landscape document with a two row one column table with the cells
having fixed dimensions. Then you would used a macro to cut each page from
the source document and paste it into a cell in the table. Page numbers
would be a bit of an issue, but could also be handled by inserting into each
cell using vba.
