When printing the documents in ZAC 103, 104B or 203, you can print multiple pages per page on the printer. In Word, Click File on the tool bar, click Print. On the Print box, click Properties and click one of the options of how you want it printed: 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, etc. (similar to PowerPoint). Saves tons of paper and space in your notebook. IF WORD DISPLAYS THE MACRO VIRUS WARNING WHEN OPENING A DOCUMENT, CLICK "DISABLE MACROS" BEFORE OPENING.  This is due to a macro included by MS Word, NOT a virus.
