I have an index card designed in Word. It's fairly complicated with graphics, borders and background.

The page layout has been set to landscape and with size set to 4x6.

How can I print this, 4x per A4 landscape sheet? I cannot for the life of me work it out.

The printer always seems to do a single card per A4 sheet, wasting 3/4 of the page.

"Pages 1,1,1,1" will result in 4 sheets being printed.

What am I doing wrong?

If your printer supports it, you could try to let it merge multiple sites on to one. – Bobby Jan 12 '11 at 9:56
As dma57361 suggested you need to set as labels. However, it still probably won't work unless you have a full bleed printer. – opsin Feb 1 at 3:26
You could get 3 on there. Two vertical and one horizontal. – opsin Feb 1 at 3:33

Copy your work and paste it three times into same Word document and then print

How do you do that with page borders and background art? – Anna Jan 12 '11 at 10:08
just press ctrl-a , ctrl-c and then press ctrl-v three times – Shakehar Jan 12 '11 at 10:10
This seems like a waste of paper and ink. – Ramhound Apr 3 at 14:55

Tools -> Letters and Mailings -> Letters and Envelopes

From within the Labels tab click the Options button.

From here you need to configure the page to use "labels" the size of which you need. You can create new custom sized labels, which is what you probably need to do - if you do, make sure you set the page size to A4 landscape.

Then you simply place your work in each of the four labels on the page.
