How do I create a two to a page flyer in Pages?
How do I create a two to a page flyer in Pages? I.e., I would print it landscape and cut the page so I got two of the same flyers out of one page.

Thank you for your thoughtful replies, and your patience! There is quite a learning-curve in getting familiar with Pages ... also, there are often several ways in which any particular project may be accomplished.
Apple also serves the professional and creative community with "Pages" software. Sometimes people may tailor things to suit their own way of working.
("Text Edit" is the simpler software, although less professional in results).
There are third-party (non-Apple) "Pages" tutorials for beginners online, although I didn't see one for your particular project either.
You may want to send a "feature-request" to Apple. (You have the option to select "feature-request" from the "Feedback-type" menu) Although it will not help you right now, if others are making a similar request, we may see a suitable template appear in a future "Pages" update.

Hi DaisyDog,
In Pages, take a look at Template Chooser > Stationery > Photo Card Vertical. That has a feint dashed line to mark the centre of a landscape page. Perhaps you could duplicate your flyer either side of that centre line.
I have enhanced the dashed line for this screenshot
Please reply with questions.
Ian.
We do not know if you are using Pages on a Mac computer, iPad or iPhone,
or
which version of Pages you use:
If experienced: For a professional looking flyer: you could look online for a tutorial.
If inexperienced: For a simple, quick method:
Generally, you could begin by choosing a blank landscape template.
Design your flyer on one half of the template
Print two copies.
Cut one of the copies in half and paste the "cut" flyer beside the flyer on the other printout.
Now you have a "master" copy and can photocopy as many of the two side-by-side flyers as you wish.

Am no expert myself. It is not easy to guess your level of expertise, or which details you need, and to convey what is needed within the limitations of this messaging method ...
This video Is from a while ago, yet the second part of it deals with arranging text boxes on a page. Using a landscape page, you might create the flyer in one text box, and copy / paste it into a second text box beside it.

Re: " ... it seems odd that Pages wouldn’t have a more straightforward solution"
There's a User Guide for Mac "Pages", with a handy "Table of Contents" revealing various topics that lead to detailed articles:
You can also use the "search" field to quickly access detailed info.
Thank you for the response. I’m using Pages on a MacBook Air.
I did Google and searched on YouTube. I couldn’t find anything appropriate.
Your quick, simple method can work but it seems odd that Pages wouldn’t have a more straightforward solution 😉
Ok, thank you. I’ll have a look at the user guide. I have zero level of expertise. That’s why I can’t figure out how to do it ;-) But I’ll just reiterate that Apple should have a much more straightforward method for this question. There would be many many people out there who don’t want a full page flyer and many cases where only a half page flyer is needed - like putting them on the windshield of a car in this case 😉
I will try this. Thank you for the suggestion. Will post here about the outcome.
