Print two A5 documents on one piece of A4
Anybody any idea how I could do this? Currently using MS Word 97 and my wife has created an A5 sized flyer to promote her (possible) new business.
I said I'd help and print off the flyers 'cos I thought it would be easy to put them side by side and print two on each A4 sheet to save paper....
Any help (or alternatives) would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.

Easiest solution would be to cut the A4 paper in half and then print on that.
As i presume youd be cutting it afterwards anyway.
other than that you could open a new word document, paper size A4, landscape and create two columns with no borders or margins and paste the A5 flyer into the document twice and then print this A4 page.

I think what you are referring to is called x-up printing, for example, 2-up printing. In other words you print two copies of one page on a single piece of paper, in your case you'd be printing the same A5 sized page 2-up on an A4 sized piece of paper in landscape mode.
Open your document and have a look in the page setup settings, see if there is something in the layout options that mentions 2-up printing, or possibly "Pages per Sheet" (which is what my Mac has listed when I look in Layout options), you'd set that to 2, and you'd end up with 2 A5 items on one A4 sheet.

i do this with my flyer's for the carwash
i use XP`s preview function to look at the flyer, then select print, then rotate and re size to fit 2 per page, then select print each picture 14 times (ie 7 sheets of paper) (you can select 15 but this leaves 1 sheet with 1 picture and is a waste)
once done a quick chop and tidy with a guillotine and the jobs done
i do mine with a batterd old epson c44 printer, cheap refilled printer carts, and my flyers work out very cheap costwise compared with getting them printed out in full colour at a proper printers.

Pretty much as above (mines Word 2003, but should be similar)
1) In Page Setup, set your paper size to A4
2) Set page to landscape
3) On the Margins tab set Multiple Pages to 2 pages per sheet
4) Job done
