I've got to make ID badges for most of my colleagues as well as at least 40 ID badges for the Sixth Form students. We make our ID badges in Publisher and print them off before laminating them and putting them in a badge holder with a lanyard. Previously, I've only ever had to 1 or 2 ID badges at a time so I wasn't that concerned with wasting paper. However I will be doing at least 70 ID badge print outs from Publisher and I can't work out how to print more than one badge per page. I know how to print multiple copies of the same badge but, for obvious reasons, I don't want to have say 20 copies of the same badge on one sheet of A4.
I've googled and can't find anything much beyond some mail merge-esque solution which seems to take too long to set up.
I have a feeling that the only answer would be to make one massive Publisher file with each page in that file being a different/distinct ID badge for each colleague. I would then normally print out one page of the Publisher file but for my current job I would print out each page/ID badge onto A4.
So is it possible or am I resigned to wasting a lot of paper? TIA.
