Curriculum Areas: Language arts/math/social studies/science Grade Level: 1 and up Application: Microsoft® Word 2002 Tip: Print two pages on a single sheet of paper. Description: Control the page setup of a document so that two pages print on a single sheet of paper. This a cool way to print a book of poems, a collection of short stories, an alphabet dictionary, a rain forest booklet, a travel guide about a state or country, a science booklet about the systems of the body, a foreign language vocabulary booklet, or a report about any topic in the curriculum. The possibilities are endless.
How to:
1.
Start Microsoft Word, and open a blank document.
2.
To set up Word so that it will print two pages on a single sheet, select Page Setup from the File menu.
3.
In the Page Setup dialog box, on the Margins tab, select 2 pages per sheet in the Multiple pages box. Click OK.
Your document will look very tiny now because each regular page takes up only half of a sheet of paper. Make sure you are working in Print Layout view so that you can see each of the physical pages while you are working. To do this, select Print Layout from the View menu.
Keep in mind that every two pages of text will print on a single sheet of paper.
4.
Type your text on each small sheet of paper. If you are typing short poems or short stories, try to fit them on each small section.
5.
To see how the final version will look when you print it, select Print Preview from the File menu. When you are ready, print the document. You will most likely cut the pages in half so that you can put the small booklet together.
