In that case your best bet is to plan the layout on a sheet of paper,
drawing lines to indicate the page boundaries. Then go to Tools | Envelopes
and Labels.
1. On the Labels tab, click Options.
2. In the Label Options dialog, find a sheet of labels the right size with a
similar number of labels (this step isn't vital, but it saves time).
3. Click the New Label button and enter the appropriate dimensions for your
"labels." Since you will presumably be cutting the pages apart with a single
cut (there will be no space between them), the width and horizontal pitch
will be the same, as will the height and vertical pitch. The top and side
margins can be calculated as half of the difference between the total
height/width of the paper and the sum of the heights/widths of your pages.
4. Give your "label" a name and save it (you'll later find it listed under
Other/Custom).
5. Select the label, if necessary, and click OK.
6. In the Labels dialog, click New Document to get a sheet of the "labels."
They'll be set up as a table, so make sure you have table gridlines
displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you can see the page boundaries.
Another approach would be just to set up a table with the appropriate number
of rows and columns, using exact row height and fixed column width, but the
advantage of using the Labels dialog is that it gets around the issues of
margins possibly outside the printable area, needing an empty paragraph
below the table, etc. Word's "magic" handles all these things for you when
you create labels.
