MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / May 2004Splitting Large Pages Over Multiple Sheets
I've got a large page -- 11 x 17. I want to print it on two 8.5 x 11 sheets, half on one sheet, half on the other. Anyone know how to do it. It's got me stumped. If you want to send me an e-mail direct, just run my first and last names together as the domain, add a dot- com and put anything at all before the @ sign. It'll get to me. Thanks, whiz kids. Tim Perrin Westbank, BC I assume that what you have is an 11 x 17 portrait style and that what you want to end up with is two 8.5 x 11 landscape style pages. While you may have to fiddle with the margins to get it to fit on just two sheets, I think if you select Page Setup from the File menu and then change the Paper size to Letter on the Paper tab and then on the Margins tab, change the orientation to Landscape and adjust the margins so that the 2 * (11"- top margin - bottom margin) = 17" - original top margin - original bottom margin while keeping the left and right margins the same, you may get what you want. If you have paragraphs or tables with rows formatted not the split across pages, you will may have to do something about them.

What I have is the equivalent of two 8.5x11 pages sitting side-by-side on an 17x11 sheet. I want to print them on two 8.5x11 sheets. xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx Like that.

How are they separated? Is the page formatted with columns? or is it a two column table? Do the printed pages have to be an exact facsimile of each half of the 11 x 17?

If you have a printer driver and printer that allows it, you could lie to it and tell it that it has continuous form 11" wide paper while actually feeding it 11"x 8½" paper. If your quantities are either small enough to handle or large enough to send out, scissors cut paper :) Just some random thoughts on the subject. (Which isn't really fonts, by the way) - Character >>-----Original Message----- >>I assume that what you have is an 11 x 17 portrait style [quoted text clipped - 73 lines] >> >>. |
