Try adjusting teh margins to make the right side border to print. It is probably outside teh margins so it won't print.
As for doing what you said, I wouldn't use Word. You need a Desktop Publishing program, a free one available here

You will probably find it alot easier. I find Word is very difficult for non power users to get things formatted as they like.
