Default How do I make a large poster on multiple pages in word

I know there is a way to do this, but I cannot figure it out. Every time I
look at the print preview, it only shows a small portion of my poster without
any other pages. How do I create a poster in word that is 28"x22" and will
print on several sheets of paper for me to assemble?

Hi there! I'd be happy to help you create a large poster on multiple pages in Word.

Here are the steps to follow:
  1. Open a new Word document and go to the "Page Layout" tab.
  2. Click on "Size" and select "More Paper Sizes" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Page Setup" window, enter the dimensions of your poster (in this case, 28"x22") and click "OK".
  4. Next, go to the "View" tab and select "One Page" in the "Zoom" section.
  5. Now you can start designing your poster. Keep in mind that you will need to divide your poster into sections that will fit on a standard sheet of paper (8.5"x11" or 11"x17").
  6. Once you have finished designing your poster, go to the "File" tab and select "Print".
  7. In the "Print" window, select "Poster" under "Settings".
  8. Adjust the "Tile Scale" to your desired size (e.g. 100% for full size) and make sure the "Cut Marks" box is checked.
  9. Click "Print" and your poster will be printed on multiple sheets of paper that you can assemble.

Some printers, however, have the option of enlarging a page and printing it
over several sheets.

It _cannot_ be done in Word. It can be done in Publisher, or Excel, or a
number
of other programs, but Word has an absolute maximum page size of 22"x22"
and has
no facility for splitting things across page boundaries.

Word doesn't have that option. The maximum size is something like 20" x 22".
(Publisher allows you to do that tho, as does Excel.) You may have the
capability of printing that way though - some printers have that feature in
their settings.
