Cutting down on the amount of paper used in printing not only saves money, but is also more environmentally friendly. Some applications offer the option of printing multiple pages per sheet of paper. In this post I will show you how to print two pages per sheet in MS Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
MS Word
Open the print dialogue from the 'File' menu in older versions of Word, or by clicking the Office Button in newer versions (as shown below).
Simply set 'Pages per sheet' to '2 pages' and click 'OK'.
Adobe Acrobat
Open the print dialogue from the 'File' menu.
Change 'Page Scaling' to 'Multiple pages per sheet' and 'Pages per sheet' to '2'.
OpenOffice
I found no easy way to print two pages per sheet in OpenOffice, but you can save the file as a pdf using the 'Export as PDF' tool in the 'File' menu and then open it in Adobe Acrobat and follow the above instructions.

merton: Yep. That's what I wrote.
Nice tip! It's crazy to think how many pages get printed that are totally wasted with 1 line of text them etc. Definitely makes sense to get it onto two where possible.
I appreciate your effort for supply this type of vital information and sure I'll come again across your blog when you will share something new.
