Guys

the office has installed office 2007 (Word) on our desktops this week, but for the life of me i cant seem to find how to fit a 2 page document onto 1 page, there used to be a "fit to page" option on our old system but cant seem to find it. Im sure its so simple but its doing my head in..

anyone know?

cheers

Page Layout tab, then choose Size and More paper sizes from the drop down menu. Go to the Margins tab and in the middle of the menu should be a section called Pages with the text Multiple pages. It should be on normal, change it to 2 pages per sheet.

Is that what you want?

unfortunately not, doing this split my two page document onto four pages rather than 1

surely it cant be that difficult to shrink 2 pages to fit 1 page, Id put a ticket into IT to get them to show me but as its a CV id better not

Hmm strange. Does your printer definitely support this? I've found that it seems you don't set this in Word but in your printer properties. With my Canon i455 I go to the Page Setup tab and change the Page Layout to Page Layout Printing. I can then choose how many sides I want per page.

Yeah, thats it. The only problem is that the page prints side by side (on A4) rather than on top of each other, if you know what i mean..

Set the page to portrait orientation?

Yeah tried that, it still prints side by side (might be easier emailing my CV rather than posting it

)

Hmm all I can see on my printer is poster printing, seems to allow for top bottom printing and not left right.

i think it has more to do with the properties of the template i used for the CV rather than the printer settings, it probably wont fit onto one page no-matter what i do, I'll send it as is, and thanks again for your help...
