Why can't I get two records to appear on one form?

Ok I need some expertise.

I need to print off some tax info (in my table) on a form I made, but the form only takes up half of a sheet of paper, so I want to print two forms on one sheet of paper. So I copied the form and paseted it just below itself, so now it takes up one sheet, essentialy two forms in one form. But I want one record put in upper form and the second... record put lower form. So essentially two records on one form. When I go to control source (for the lower part of the form, which is essentially the same form as above it, just copied and placed into one form), I go to data and try assign it to the next record, maybe somthing like "previous + 1 "record""
I'm not sure how to do it.

To make things more clear here is a example.

A Form shows birth dates of two different individuals. These two individuals have different records, one after the other, and I want both to show on one form, in two different cells (in the form).

 
An easier way to do that without the copying the form a second time is on Form properties, format, default view choose continuous forms and this will automatically do what it is I think you are trying to do.
