Create a template to print two selected images as 5 X 7 on an 8.5 X 11 paper

There are two approaches to this question- 

First set your Paper size in the Printer Setup options-

OPTION 1)

Use [Single Image/ Contact Sheet]  and define two rows for horizontals on portrait paper , (or two columns for landscape paper). Set the CELL size to 5x7inches

(Note: adding the photos to cells is an Automatic process - Selected photos are added in the order shown in the Filmstrip.)

(Note: This method is preferred to batch print multiple 'pairs' (for 2/page) of selected images in one step. Sort images in 'pairs' before printing.)

OPTION 2)

Use the Layout option for [Custom Package], Add two 5x7 cells by clicking the 5x7 button- twice, drag cells on the page to position them (eg. Click to grid), drag photos from the Filmstrip to the cells. (Note: adding the photos to cells is a Manual process)
