You can create a folded booklet or newsletter that has 8.5-by-11-inch pages if your printer supports printing on 11-by-17-inch (or tabloid) paper. While this article refers to standard US letter-size pages (8.5 x 11), you can use this technique with any publication whose page size is half that of the paper size.
