You will have to have a play around at FILE > PAGE SETUP or similar (I don't have Word).  Also, if you get no joy with that, you may need to have a look in the printer properties.

Start a new document in Word

Go to 'file' (top menu bar)

Select 'page layout'

click on 'landscape'.

Then either still in 'page layout' or possibly on your menu bar there is an option to select one, two, three or four column layout.  Select the two column layout. 

Then create your leaflet in the left hand column, make sure you use all the lines.  Save what you've done so far.  Copy and paste into the right hand column.

Once ready to print go into printer setting there should be a tab so your able to allter the size and
 lay out.

Hi Gazza,

Another way:

On the menu bar at the top of the screen in 'Word', look along till you find 'format'.

Click on it.  There should be a drop down menu.  About half way down is the word 'columns' alongside a square with two sets of horizontal lines arranged in two columns.

Click on 'columns'

It will show you a choice of column layouts, click on the one that shows two columns.

Thats the one Id plum for. If you are trying to print how youve described would you not need to select that the paper size is A5 rather A4?
