Default How to set up Excel to print wrapped columns on a page.

Running EXCEL Office 2003.
I have a 4-column Excel list of recorded movies: Disk#, Title, Staring,
Rating. In Excel, I add newly recorded movies at the bottom of the list, and
then sort the list alphabetically by movie title.
When I print the list, it is several pages long.

Question: Is there a way to print this list so that the the 4 columns will
wrap to 8 columns on a page thereby reducing the number of printed pages by
half?

So, I would like to see printed page 1 (for example) displaying all movie
titles "A" thru "C" wrapped into (2) 4-column lists, and then continue on
page 2 starting with title "D" in the left-most 4-column list.
Thanks - Rich

There is no built-in way to do that in Excel.
You have to paste the data into Word and use Format | Columns
-or -

Build your own method with VBA code...

-or -

Try my commercial "Special Print" Excel add-in with its "Side by Side" utility.
(free three week trial)
It creates 2, 3 or 4 up column groupings across the worksheet page (from single or multiple columns)
and maintains data continuity across all pages and accounts for any header area.
A new sheet with the column arrangement is created, your original data is not affected.
Just email and ask for it.
