Is there any way to make Excel print 2 pages per physical sheet of paper? The answer is maybe...it all depends on your printer! Episode 856 shows you how.
Transcript of the video:
Hey, alright, welcome back to the MrExcel netcast, I'm Bill Jelen.
Interesting question today.
Someone said, "Hey, is there any way to make Excel print 2-up?
In other words, take two pages and print it on one physical sheet of paper." And Word can do this, of course, but, you know, there's nothing really in Excel and File, Page Setup, to do this.
But, depending on what printer you have, you might be able to just do it.
If we go to File, and then Print-- and, so, here i have a Dell Laser Printer 1700-- click on Properties, and if you click on Properties there's a good chance that your printer might support number of pages per sheet.
So, here I can print 2-up, or 3-up, or 4-up, and it arranges that so you can save some paper.
In this case, it's going to take that portrait sheet and print side by side, basically turning the paper or landscape.
So I tested a few different printers; some have it some don't-- it's worth a shot to see if your printer supports 2-up printing in case you want to save some pages as you print out.
Well, thanks for stopping by, we'll see you next time for another netcast from MrExcel.
