Help me make a printable document with Word that is 7 pages long?

Question

This is driving me crazy!! For work, I have to print up admission packets that are 7 pages long. As it is, I have to print 10 of page 1, 10 of page 2, and so on, and then make a mess out of the room by placing them in piles. I have tried so hard to make a 7 page document that I can print all at once (each printing will have a page 1, page 2...). I KNOW this should be pretty simple but I'm stumped! I can use Word or notepad or paint or anything. Just please give me some clues!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 2

When you hit Print in word, the print dialog box comes up.

On the right hand side, you'll see the Collate option checkbox. When its on, it automatically sorts your pages into order. Page 1, Page 2 and so on, until it reaches the last page. Then it starts from Page 1 again.

When its off, it prints all ten pages of Page 1 first, then proceeding to Page 2. It then prints it ten times, and then page 3... and so on.

Also, on your Printer Properties page (accessible on the same Print Dialog box) it will also give you options to print from the last page first, which is handy if you print when Collate is on (that way, the first page is on top of the pile in your paper tray).

What do you mean by screwy?

Heres what you do.

Open your ORIGINAL document.

Go to the page where you want to insert a document.

Go to Insert -> Break > Page Break.

Now you have created a blank page.

Go back to your other document and delete all the page breaks. Not sure how? see here:

Save your progress.

Go back to your blank page in ORIGINAL.doc

Insert your new documents from here.

I don't have Word on my computer, but I'm familiar with several other programs that print similarly.  Could you not simply tell it to print Pages 1 - 7 10 times?

edit:

To change from portrait to landscape click File > Page Setup.  One of the options here should allow you to change the page orientation.
