In Edit and WriteNow, go to the format->Page Layout panel and choose  
2-up from the pop-up list.
WordPerfect, as you might expect from one of the most feature-laden  
apps around, has no way of doing this.

It would be great if Preview let you do it (in fact, its ludicrous  
that it doesn't); then from any app you'd just print to .ps and use  
preview to print it.
