Printing landscape 2 pages per sheet.

In Word 2010 if I create an A4 portrait document and select print '2 pages per sheet' I get 2 portrait A5 sheets (rotated 90 degrees to landscape).

How if I want to do the same for an A4 landscape document do I get it to print 2 pages per sheet by rotating them by 90 degrees to fill the page? It only seems to want to print the two pages side by side on landscape which isn’t what I want.

Hope that makes sense, has anyone managed this?

    Save you landscape document as a pdf file and then in the Print facility in Adobe Reader, select Multiple pages per sheet from the Page Scaling drop-down and then 2 from the Pages per sheet: control and then check the box alongside Auto-Rotate Pages.
