4 to a page HORIZONTAL layout in Office 2003 Word

[ejb]

Even in Landscape, Word does not print multiples on same page horizontally.
Have tried four pages- with all pages to print on one page, and print range
1,1,1,1 and every time is comes out printing in Portrait. Have confirmed
landscape in both print setup and printer properties.
Needed to print out 1/4 pg fliers on 8.5 x 11 page.
Workaround? Import from/to PowerPoint?

Using a landscape oriented document and printing it to the Adobe PDF
printer, using the "printer's" 4 pages per sheet option and with the printer
layout set to landscape, will achieve what you want.

If you do not have the full version of Adobe, you may have to start with a
landscape sheet and insert a 2 x 2 table and then size your text so that it
fits in one cell and then copy it to the other cells of the table.

Thanks, Doug.
By copying the one page doc (for a total of 4 pgs) and converting all four
pages to Acrobat Professional 7.0, then following your steps, I finally
succeeded.

Still some margin issues that Word & printer can't avoid- so I'll have to
take those into account next time- meaning less copy, larger fonts. For this
one, I think we'll have to go with a Quark or other publishing tool- as it
is, by the time margins are accounted for, there's at least a 1/2" margin
around every section.

Can the 'image size' or print window be adjusted to bleed closer to the
edges? This may be a limitation of the printer itself, but even the 'internal
margins', between each 'page' of the doc are 1/2"+, as the minimum margin
settings are .25" left and .32" right.

Again, though my current flier has a lot of copy that seems to be a job for
a publishing tool (and different printer), in the future your method is spot
on. Thanks.

The way I did it was to use the Adobe PDF Printer to print page 1,1,1,1
