Will depend on the driver you are using somewhat. In this case you can see there is a button called multiple, this allows you to specify how many pages to put on one side of a sheet, then select landscape to get the correct orientation.

Basics... PDF print method  / 2-pages per sheet of paper

 

Export your Word document to PDF and save it.

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC /Optional  Foxit Reader

Set Page Sizing & Handling to Multiple

Select 2 pages per sheet

Check the Preview - if necessary, adjust the Orientation = Landscape

NOTE:  If your Word document is "Portrait" , leave the setting as Portrait in the main PDF print menu

In Properties, Select Shortcut for "Everyday Printing" (or similar), select Plain paper , paper size

Click OK in Properties to save the change and leave the Properties menu

Back on the main menu, when ready, Click to Print

After a second read I believe I may have miss read your requirement. I believe what you want is 2 copies of the same page on one sheet of paper. In that case the easiest method is just copy and paste the first page to create a second page and then use the multiple function to print the pages.
