Printing 4 Copies Per Sheet In Word 2016

Just the other day I was presented with a request to put a one page, letter size Word document 4 times on a single sheet of letter paper. The end goal was simply to be able to print out 4 copies per page to create postcard sized invitations. I wasn't sure how to go about this, but after putting together a few Google search results, I came up with the answer.

We'll start with the completed document, which was a full page Christmas party invitation.


  1. Click on 'File | Print', and chose the printer you wish to print to. Now, in my case, I wanted to be able to send the document to someone else for printing, so I chose 'Microsoft Print to PDF' for my printer.
  2. Under 'Settings', then 'Pages', enter 1,1,1,1   * This tells Word that you want page 1 of the document printed four times.
  3. At the bottom of the list of settings, change the number of pages per sheet from '1 Page Per Sheet' to '4 Pages Per Sheet'
  4. Click 'Print'


And that was it! Simple, but effective. Here is the resultant PDF document that was created.



While this is a fairly simple procedure, it actually took reading three different articles to figure out the steps to this problem. Hopefully this will save someone else the hassle of multiple searches.

Have a great week everyone!

Additional Online Resources for the 70-740 Exam

Although I have not yet officially started studying for the 70-740 exam, I am already starting to compile a list of additional online resources that I will be using to study for the new Windows Server 2016 exam.

I will be breaking this list down, not just by objective but also by sub-objective. Doing this, I hope to add some additional clarity as to which resource is for which topic. I will also add in some additional material which may not be directly related to the exam, but will help to reinforce or augment the knowledge required to pass the exam.

I hope you find this list useful, and as always, if you have resources you would like to see added to this list, just let me know and I'll make sure to include them.
