It should be easy enough to do with a simple Postscript program.  I
don't have one on tap, but you could ask on Usenet, or simply borrow
a few snippets of code from one of the programs used to convert slides
to N-up.

And that's why PDF is cool and .doc is not---Microsoft Word can't even
guarantee that an A4 Word document will fit on an A4 page without
editing.
