MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004divide page - how?
I use both Word and Word Perfect. I often like to divide the page into 2 (or more) virtual pages either horizontally or vertically. In Word Perfect that is easy to do. I have yet to figure out how to do this in Word. Can anyone make a suggestion? Thanks. Bruce Select Split from the Window menu. Or, equivalently, select the tiny rectangle above the top arrow on the scroll bar and drag downwards. > I use both Word and Word Perfect.

So when I type down to the 5.5" mark (on an 11" sheet) the cursor will 'jump' down to the 'next' page, even though it is on a single sheet. I want to be able to format for birthday and greeting cards this way. It is easy on WP. Is this possible in Word? Thanks for the info already given. Bruce > Select Split from the Window menu.

You were asking slightly the wrong question. The task is not 'how to get Word to emulate WP's method' (which is hard), but 'how to use Word to format greeting cards' (which is easy). Have a look at Word's greeting card templates. Tables, textboxes, and frames are some of the available methods, according to taste. > This doesn't accomplish what I want.

Word doesn't have the same functionality as WP and it's just something we have to live with and get used to, unfortunately. I have a list that has grown over the years of things WP does that Word still doesn't do. Even if there is an unknown, to me, way of doing this, I can nearly guarantee 100% it won't be anywhere near as easy to do as in WP. Good luck! Let me know if you find a way around this, yes? It's something I wish we could do in Word, too, since Word unfortunately is the program that is on more systems. >> Select Split from the Window menu.

On the other hand, if what you are looking for is a way to print more than one page on a single sheet of paper, please see: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/Print2Pages.htm  SignatureStefan Blom > I use both Word and Word Perfect.

Don't "Show Windows in TaskBar", make a new Window (Window>New Window). Then "Restore" one of the Windows so they're not maximized within the Word Window. Now you have two windows of the same file that you can resize and move next to each other to look like a vertical split. I stand corrected.

If you have Word 2000 or above, you can use the "2 pages per sheet" option in the Page Setup (not Print) dialog to get two logical pages either horizontally or vertically on a single sheet. -- Suzanne S.
