Split a page in half in Word
Microsoft Word Tutorials
Within all my tutorials I aim to help you develop your skills working within Word, Excel and Powerpoint as well as further your knowledge about the tools which are available within the Microsoft Office Software.
Throughout this channel I aim to cover simple subjects such as page numbers, margins, headers and footers, image, pictures and fonts as well as more advanced themes such as tables, mail merge, table of contents and electronic signatures.
Sharing tips and tricks which I discover along my journey is also an important aspect of this channel. I love the idea of giving people the solution to a problem they’ve been struggling with in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
The channel began all because of a problem I had when I had to insert images into a Word Document. I couldn’t find a way to drag and drop multiple images into a table without them expanding across the page, being cropped or interfering with the rest of the text. It wasn’t until I finally sat down one day, determined to find the solution and developed a way to solve the problem. Having found the problem quite difficult to solve without knowing how to do it I decided to make a You Tube video about it. Never once believing that many people would watch it, let alone be so grateful.
After discovering how helpful a simple tutorial could be I decided to make further videos with the aim of once again helping as many people as possible.

[@waelabdelhamid5501]

Thanks for tips. One of the reasons I split page, is to use as much as empty space, to save on paper.

[@garethkirby8249]

Awesome really helpful, to answer why the need to do it. For me it's to make flyers and split the page into 3 horizontally. Thank you very much

[@pattyyung]

WordPerfect made it so easy and it amazes me that Word doesn't have something as basic as this instead of forcing you to create tables and all the stuff that goes into them.

THANK YOU ! simple instruction I use the text box to divide it in half. you the best.

[@LisaDoe]

You're welcome! Glad it helped :)

[@marlynmiranda9628]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lisa. This was very helpful. The use of the text box to create 2 equal boxes is what I needed to insert flyers (2 languages) in preparation for double-sided printing. Continued blessings! :)

[@LisaDoe]

Wow...I'm so glad it helped. Text boxes are awesome and solve soooo many problems :))

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

[@teddykado9836]

[@nevenkakojic7167]

Well, in answer to your question as to why one would need to split a page, my reason is that, as a translator, I can have the text that needs translating in the upper half and write my translation in the lower half. Opening two pages for the purpose is inconvenient as the margins eat up a lot of the writing space.

[@stevewaters7443]

[@karimzaizan5708]

Very helpful Lisa, which would be the better way to use this split in the case where I need a document in original lenguage and the other half on the translated portion, based on your presentation I am not sure there is a posibility to have side-by-side pages contrasting the content in two different lenguages, thanks for the help!

[@LisaDoe]

I would use text boxes as they're so versatile and you can place them wherever you need them.

Someone might want to split a page in half to make an obituary, a bi-fold pamphlet or even a flyer that they want to duplicate on both sides in order to save paper.

I'm trying to create mail merge postcards. I apparently can't use text boxes that contain "next record" in a text box to advance to the next address and person. Any suggestions?

Nice

[@alimchunoor6423]

It is really needful

[@deva8496]

Just choose custom page size and set height to 8.85". width will be set to 8.27" already, if not just change. this is your a4 size split into 2 vertically

[@dennypng7391]

Dear Lisa, Would like to seek an advise why after I have split the page, I can't see the split of the two evenly distribute row section at Print Preview? I can only see the top split section at Print Preview Only?

[@LisaDoe]

Not sure, does it still print the way you want it to?

[@dminor5085]

splitting a page can be used for a title page and a table of contents page instead of two full length pages.

[@apaokuki7343]

How to insert two different pages no. for the same page and henceforth

[@JayantBardekar]

The simplest way to divide the page equally is to draw a line (horizontal or vertical) and position it in the center (middle) of the page.

When I printed the pages off the came out doubled sided but on side was upside down??

I have a paperback cover that I want to use only the right half for an Ebook cover. How would I do that, please. And thank you. Frank

[@LisaDoe]

If it's just text you want on the cover, then you can use the TEXT BOX method and simply place it on the right hand side leaving the left free.

[@frankredford9047]

@@LisaDoe Sorry to be such a pest. I have a picture for a book cover I made for a paperback. I did the text box idea yet I'm unable to save the text on the picture to the text box so I can make an eBook cover.

[@LisaDoe]

@@frankredford9047 On some versions of word you cannot save a text box as an image so you need to use the WORDART icon and customise your text accordingly. You should then be able to save everything as a JPEG image and place it on the left hand side of the page.

[@frankredford9047]
