Dumb question, but how do I split a word document?

Question

I am trying to create a document where the page is split in half, top an bottom. The top text and bottom text are the same, but I am trying to save paper by using one sheet. I'm not making sense, but help!

Answer 1

File > Page Set up

First reduce the margins to 0.7 (smallest)
Then under Pages pull down the menu and choose 2 pages per sheet.

Each page will now act as 1/2 of a piece of paper.

Answer 2

I'm making a wild guess here, but I think what you are trying to do is divide the sheet in half length-wise. An 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper actually has 9 inches of typing space, with a 1 inch top and bottom margin. Type your text in the top part of the page, then press Enter until you get to line 5.4 or 5.5. That's the middle of the page. anything below that will be on the bottom half of the sheet, so if you want a 1 inch top for the lower half, you need to press enter until you get to line 6.5. You need to have the standard and formatting toolbars showing, as the line count will be on the bottom part of the screen. (Click on View and select Toolbars then Standard and Formatting.)

You need to know exactly how many lines of type you have, then you copy them and paste them, starting at line 6.5. Print a sample and adjust your lines up or down, depending on the number of lines of type.

I sincerely hope I haven't forgotten a step in here, so try this out before you do a final copy!

I just tried the answer you got from blndchik, and it works! And it's a lot easier than my way. I'm glad to know that.
