We all know that the default paper for Word documents is A4 paper. A3 paper folded in half becomes two A4 papers, so it is easy to understand that the contents of A4 documents on both sides can be printed on A3 paper.

(2) Click the dialog box launcher in the lower right corner of the [Layout]-[Page Setup] group to open the "Page Setup" dialog box. Select the "Paper" tab and set the "Paper Size" to "A3".

Even pages; If manual double-sided printing is not checked, a PDF document that can be printed directly on both sides will be generated.

(5) Click the "Properties" button, set the "Paper Format" to "A3" in the dialog box that opens, and then click the "OK" button to generate a PDF document.

(6) Double-click to open the PDF document, click the [File]-[Print] command, or click the "Print" button directly on the PDF interface.

(7) Select "Printer" as "Microsoft Print to PDF". In the "Subset" drop-down list, first select "Odd-numbered pages only" so that we can print the contents of the odd-numbered pages on A3 paper.

(8) After printing is completed, put the paper into the printer, then select "Only print even pages" in the "Subset" drop-down list, and check the "Print in reverse order" check box, and then print document, at this time, the contents of the even-numbered pages in the document can be printed correspondingly on the back of the A3 paper.

In this way, all A4 documents are printed on A3 paper, and the entire document is similar to a book folding style. Finally, place the A3 papers in order, fold them in half, and then staple them to complete.
