Can't print multiple pages to one sheet

Suzanne:

Just an update...

We were able to figure out the problem. It seems that to print multiple
pages to a sheet, we need to change the printer properties to print 4 pages
per sheet (this is only available on some of our printers). Our printers
ignore the Pages Per Sheet option in Word.

really test, but I feel sure this feature should be working in Word 2000.

I have tried all sorts of variations and still no luck. I even had someone
at
another law firm try it and they couldn't get it to work either.

However, we have received documents (transcripts) from outside the firm
where there are four page per printed sheet. So I know it can be done.

Yes. As far as I can tell, I am making the correct selections but just
not
getting the results.

And you selected "4 pages" in the "Pages per sheet" dropdown?

The document has four pages. I typed 1, 2, 3, 4 in the Pages field
and
1-4
for the page range and still no luck.

I am wanting to print 4 pages per sheet using Word 2000. In
the
print
dialog,
I select "4 pages per sheet" and scale to "letter" size paper.
However,
the
document still prints one page to one sheet.

I have tried printing to different printers (my default is an
HP5000)
and
changing the dpi to 600 but it makes no difference.

Any ideas on why this feature doesn't want to work?

Hopefully, I will be able to find someone (perhaps, a court reporter) that
has sent us a document formatted as discussed and see what they may be
doing
differently.

Thanks for trying to help out.

That's not very nice of them! My printer does offer N-UP printing options
but it also complies with Word's settings. IMO, it should not be necessary
to change settings that affect all documents (and possibly other users) to
do something you want to do for a single document.
