I have a document that is formatted in landscape, however I would like to save some space by printing 2 landscape sheets per portrait page. Whenever I set 2 pages per sheet option, though, whether I set portrait or landscape, it always puts the two pages beside each other rather than one on top and one on bottom. How do I accomplish What I'm looking for here?

Let the printer driver do it, if it can.

  1. In Word 2010, keep the landscape orientation of the document
  2. In Word's print pane, select '1 Page Per Sheet'
  3. In Word's print pane, click 'Printer Properties'
  4. In my HP printer's properties, on the 'Printing Shortcuts' tab, I select '2 pages per sheet'
  5. Click 'OK' to close the printer properties window
  6. Back in Word, click the 'Print' button
