I've never had the pleasure of using WfW, but here's an idea:

	Write a macro that starts at the beginning of the document, cut's a
page of text, and pastes it to a file called "leftdoc" (or something like
that).  Then cut the next page and paste to a file called "rightdoc".  Have the
macro repeat this process until EOF.  Then, you need only print the two
documents and delete them (so they're free for the next time you run the macro)

	I know it's a pain in the ass, but if there's no other way, it just
might be helpful for small documents (depending on your PC speed)
