  • Try inserting four text boxes or four frames on one page.

  • Word doesn't quite have this concept of more than one logical page on a

    physical page, at least not beyond two: for that you can use the "2 pages

    per sheet" option in the Page Setup dialog.

  • I'm not familiar with this WP feature, but I can envision the layout in

    either of two ways.

    If the sheet is divided into quadrants:

    1 2

    3 4

    You might consider using a 2x2 table, no borders, & set the cell margins to

    whatever each needs to be.

    If 4 consecutive parts:

    1

    2

    3

    4

    You can use Insert>Break>Continuous Section Break at the end of each of the

    first 3 sections. Although that would allow setting separate margins for each

    section, many printers have a problem 'switching horses in mid stream', so

    section breaks or not I'd be tempted to use right & left indents rather than

    varying the actual margin settings.

  • If you want text to flow from one mini-page to another, insert text boxes and

    link them. If each mini-page will be independent, then a table of 2 rows and

    2 columns is the easiest to work with.
