the first person who provides a step by step method will get the 10 points

Answer 1

This depends if your printer will allow double-sided printing or not.

When done, click on File and then Print. Now, to be able to print on both sides is dependent on your printer. Generally, a laser printer may have a double-sided print function but some inkjet ones may have it. Click on Properties and from there, navigate your way until you find PRINT ON BOTH SIDES or something similar. Also, while you're there, change the page layout to "2 IN 1". This means two pages will fit on one page.

If your printer doesn't have that 2 IN 1 function, click on Format at the top and click on Columns. From there, click on 2 and click OK. Copy and paste your text and adjust the size to fit on the columns.

Click Print!

Answer 2

the request of yours is called duplex printing


Windows XP
Printing two pages per sheet (2-up)

1. From your browser's File menu, select Print... .

In Internet Explorer 7, click the down arrow to the right of the "Print" icon (which contains an image of a printer) and select Print... .
2. Click the Preferences or Properties... button.

3. Look for a setting such as 2 up or "Pages Per Sheet:" (if you see this setting, select 2).

The exact wording of the setting varies from printer to printer, and not all printers provide this option.

Note: This is not the same as printing double-sided (i.e., one page on each side, front and back). The 2-up/2 pages per sheet option shrinks the pages you want to print so they both fit on the same side of the paper.

Printing double-sided

1. From your browser's File menu, select Print... .

In Internet Explorer 7, click the down arrow to the right of the "Print" icon (which contains an image of a printer) and select Print... .
2. Click the Preferences or Properties... button.

3. Look for a checkbox, radio button, or a section heading labeled Print on Both Sides.

You might have a choice about the orientation of the page (for example, Flip on Long Edge or Flip on Short Edge). When you click one of the choices, you may see an illustration that shows how the pages will be oriented. If you are printing 2-up, choosing Flip on Short Edge (or similar option) may provide more convenient page turns, but if you are putting the pages in an 8 1/2"x11" binder, you might prefer Flip on Long Edge.

Answer 3

Try the following method
1. Select the entire document by pressing Ctrl + A
2. Then click Format -> Column
3. Select 2 columns from there and press OK
4. If you get entire page as a single column (I feel like you do) in the left side the selection is wrong. Try to select the entire document manually without selecting the last invisible new line character at the end of the document.
5. Then apply the step 2 and 3 commands back and it’ll work this time

Extras
Still if the document is bigger than 4 pages try the followings
1. Select the entire document and reduce the font size to small but a readable size
2. Go to File -> Page Setup and click “Margins” tab. reduce the top, bottom, left & right margins to 0.5 inches and press OK

Hope the above will work properly. In case if it is not, mail the document to me. Perhaps I can fix it and resend it to you.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

First you need to format the document into columns. On the Menu go to FORMAT, then click on columns. Click on the Two columns button, then click OK.
Second you will need to format the text size so that all of your text fits onto 2 pages.
Go to Format, Font.
You may have to do this a few times in order to get a font size that will enable you to fit all your text onto the 2 pages. ( The smallest you can make the font is 9)
Click File Print Preview, to see what your document will look like.
Click File Print
Depending on your printer, you will need to set the following options
Manual duplex, and 2 sided printing(click on Properties in the Printer window, then click on the Advanced tab)
Then print.

Good Luck

Answer 5

go:
file>>print (or ctrl + p) to open the print dialogue box. In the print dialogue there should be something like zoom where you can set how many pages per per piece of paper you want.
There should also be something like "manual duplex" which you can mark meaning you have to put the page inside the printer again to have it printed on both sides (but I am not sure if this option is available with all printers)

Answer 6

when sending your file to the printer, under printer properties you can specify if you want to make it double sided and can also dictate how many pages you want printed per sheet. At this point you can print it for 4 pages per sheet. One point of warning is that this is pretty small and hard reading. I often use 2 pages per sheet double sided for my large docs. Good luck.

Answer 7

Go to print, then properties. then look under finishing(thats what mine says) and it says pages per sheet or poster. click the colmuln and it it should have a list of pages you want on one sheet. above that, it has where you can print on front and back.

Answer 8

For canon printers:
File>>print>>properties>>page layout, select four page per layout

I don't know what printer you have

Read your Printer Manual.
