DoublePage is a Microsoft Word for Windows macro that prints a document in
a 2-column landscape format on the default printer. (In some printer drivers
that capability is built-in but for most of them it is not.) It will typically
print about one page per column; hence it is a great way to cut down on paper
costs and waste.
Now it can even optionally print on both sides of the sheet for even greater
paper savings!
On every page of the printout, it will also optionally add its own special
footer giving the name of the document, the date and time it was printed, and
the page number.
DoublePage will not modify the actual document. Rather, it will create a
temporary document in memory which will be deleted after printing. However, as
with any such utility, you should always make regular backups of your files
just to be sure.
Our Review: DoublePage provides a specific solution to a specific problem, but does it well. Featured here are both the Word 6 & 7 as well as the Word 97/2000 versions of the macro, complete with compehensive instructions. As a macro it isn't the easiest thing in the world to run, but it does the job, so get it if you need it.
