MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2006Can't print multiple pages to one sheet
I am wanting to print 4 pages per sheet using Word 2000. In the print dialog, I select "4 pages per sheet" and scale to "letter" size paper. However, the document still prints one page to one sheet. I have tried printing to different printers (my default is an HP5000) and changing the dpi to 600 but it makes no difference. Any ideas on why this feature doesn't want to work?  SignatureChristina If you have just one page, you need to tell Word to print pages 1, 1, 1, 1. SignatureSuzanne S.

The document has four pages. I typed 1, 2, 3, 4 in the Pages field and 1-4 for the page range and still no luck.

What happens if you select, say, 2 pages per sheet or some other number (inputting enough page numbers to at least give some idea of the result)? SignatureSuzanne S.

I have tried all sorts of variations and still no luck. I even had someone at another law firm try it and they couldn't get it to work either. However, we have received documents (transcripts) from outside the firm where there are four page per printed sheet. So I know it can be done.

I'm wondering if an N-UP setting in your printer Properties (if any) might either (a) be interfering with Word's setting or (b) exploited in place of Word's setting. Unfortunately, I'm using Word 2003 here, so I can't really test, but I feel sure this feature should be working in Word 2000. SignatureSuzanne S.

Hopefully, I will be able to find someone (perhaps, a court reporter) that has sent us a document formatted as discussed and see what they may be doing differently. Thanks for trying to help out.

If you want to send the document to me, I will take a look at it for you. SignatureHope this helps.

Thanks, Doug. We were able to figure out the problem. It seems that to print multiple pages to a sheet, we need to change the printer properties to print 4 pages per sheet (this is only available on some of our printers). Our printers ignore the Pages Per Sheet option in Word.

That's not very nice of them! My printer does offer N-UP printing options but it also complies with Word's settings. IMO, it should not be necessary to change settings that affect all documents (and possibly other users) to do something you want to do for a single document. SignatureSuzanne S.
