Just follow these steps to set up Microsoft Word for two-page printing on a single sheet.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Microsoft Word installed

1. Launch Microsoft Word and open a new document.

2. Click the File menu and select Page Setup.

3. Look for the Multiple Pages option on the Margins tab. Set the option to 2 Pages Per Sheet and click the OK button.
