How can I make Word print a one-page document multiple times on one single sheet?

Saw this on Microsoft's website:

1. Set # of copies to 1.
2. Set to 4 pages per sheet.
3. In the page range box, put 1,1,1,1.

If you have a document (say 6 pages long) and you select the option to print 4 pages per sheet of paper the result will look like this:

 1 2          5 6
 3 4          

If you print this document twice, either by selecting 2 copies of simply by repeating the the print action the result will be like this:

 1 2          5 6            1 2          5 6
 3 4                         3 4

Note the blank space in the second and forth page. It does this because page 2 would be rather inconvenient if it did this:

 1 2          5 6            3  4
 3 4          1 2            5  6

Since you have a single page document and selected four print jobs (or 4 copies) it will print 4 pages. With only enough data to fill the first quarter of a page that will result in 4 mostly empty pages.

The answer do how do I get Windows to actually print multiple pages per sheet? is easy: Set it in the printer driver. (n your example, use printer properties

Most printer drivers have an option as circled in the picture below. Sadly it never seems to be in the same place. Each manufacturer does it differently.

How you get it set specifically in office without using the printer driver is an other question. But this should work, even from ms office.

This is very basic but gets round the problem quickly and easily - I copy the page 4 times so the document contains 4 pages and then it works.
