Does anybody use this software?
I've been putting together my portfolio using it, have been doing it setup on landscape A2 pages. When I come to print it it is cheaper at uni to print of two pages on one A1 sheet and trim it myself than print each onto a separate A2 sheet.
I've had a play with the print settings but cant figure out how I go about setting it to print like that, basically so two A2 pages in landscape print one under the other on one A1 sheet, sure it can be done as it has all the booklet options, just cant figure out which settings i need to play with.
Anyone shed any light?

The print options from InDesign are very limited. However, in the print dialogue you find an option to print 'spreads' and 'facing pages'. Turning these two on should give you your desired result. Howevere, this is not the best way of doing it.
What you need to do is export as a PDF, then print from Adobe Acrobat. Here you'll find the option to place more spreads on a single paper. It's very straight forward.

Use it everyday all day!
Do what Balling said, export it as a print ready PDF or save as a postscript and use Adobe Distiller to make a print ready PDF. You'll get better print quality and it'll be easier to get the desired results.
