If you regularly print large documents or send printed
copies of them through the mail, you can save on both paper and postage by
using Microsoft Word’s Zoom feature. With Zoom, you can print as many as 16
pages on a single sheet of paper.

Printing multiple pages on one sheet also makes it easier to
check your document’s page layout, such as odd and even page headers and
footers in a 200-page document.

To print four pages to a sheet, follow these steps:

  1. Go to
    File | Print.
  2. In the
    Zoom section, select 4 Pages from the Pages Per
    Sheet drop-down list.
  3. Make
    any other print selections, and click OK.

Zoom automatically reduces the scale to fit four pages on
each sheet. Zoom reduces the size of your printout without changing the
document’s format or page layout settings.
