From: Brenda on 29 Jan 2010 01:00 Hello! I'm trying to create an 8 1/2 x 11 document that contains 2 identical half sheets of content. I need to cut the full size sheet in half and then 3-hole punch my half sheets, and because of this I need both left-hand margins on the the half-sheets to be larger than my other margins. This seems impossible to do in both the "book fold" and the "2 pages per sheet" settings. Is there a way to make this work? When I try to change margins manually by dragging the margin rulers, they simply bounce back to where they were. Help!

I hadn't realized that "2 pages per sheet" sets margins to Inside and Outside. This is logical for "Book fold" but nonsense for "2 pages per sheet." I suppose it merely illustrates that they share much of the same code and that "Book fold" merely adds the booklet printing order on top of the "2 pages per sheet" formatting. That being the case, you may need to use two columns instead, adjusting the side margins and space between columns accordingly. That's okay as long as you're not numbering pages but becomes much more cumbersome if you have numerous pages that require numbers and/or headers/footers (but see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Print2Pages.htm for a method if you are forced to do this). -- Suzanne S.
