Just tried it again.
Works ok for me.
Sorry I can't help further.

Are you using a 1 page document?

No, a two-page document.
Both pages print side by side on one A4 sheet.

If it were a one page document, I would expect it to occupy just half the sheet.

Yeah that's the thing, I was hoping there was a setting to allow you to print 2 of the 1-page document per side of paper. Seems Microsoft havent thought of it...

It comes in the software for my Canon iP5000, in 'page setup'. (And that's a number of years old now.)
Is your default paper set up to A4 paper? Or is it set up for something smaller, and running out of space?

For understanding of those that got the wriong idea: The OP is trying to reduce an A4 page to A5, and print two pages on the same face of the A4 paper in landscape mode.

Addendum:
There's a thought .... are you setting the printing to landscape mode? If not, it can't do it.

Sorry your question wasn't clear to me.

I take it you've set it to 2 columns?

I think we can do that Birkee.

The outstanding problem is trying to print two copies of the same page side by side on the one sheet of A4.

Could you just do it in TABLES with 2 Columns?

Copy and Paste from original doc into the 2 columns.

You could do it if your printer is a scanner too, i did it other day with getting 4 of the same picture on a piece of photo paper. Print the 1 picture/or whatever it is then scan it in and choose asy photo print EX then layout print >>> click the landscape radio button and choose the option to have 2 photos/or whatever side by side. My printers the mp540 so ipresume your printer came with the easy photo print software.

Or you could try copying it onto the other half but not tried that.

Well there is no need to go to the trouble of creating tables.

Just duplicate every page individually in the document, then every page will appear twice, side by side, on each A4 page.

I imagine the OP is looking for a more robust solution though.

Copy the entire page and paste on a 2nd page then there will be two pages to print onto one.
