Can I scale and print an A4 document to A0
I have an A4 document that I need to print off in A0. I can scale it to A3
ok but A0 is not an option I can choose. If I use the custom settings and put in the measure ments Word says the measurements must be between 0.26cm and 55.87cm. Makes sense, A0 is much larger than this so I'm assuming it can't be done. Could someone please tell me whether it definitely is or isn't possible and how to do it if it is Thanks in advance Leana |

That's about the size of it: Word has limited page width (22"). My
suggestion is that you save it as a PDF and then print it using Acrobat Reader 9.0.1 (the latest version) that has really good scaling options. If you don't have Word 2007 with the free PDF add-in, you will need a third party PDF creator. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Leana" wrote in message ...

It definitely is not possible. The largest page size that can be defined in
Word is 22 inches (55.88 cm) on any side. The lagest A series paper size that fits within that range is A3, which is 29.7 x 72.0 cm. Technically, the reason for this is that Word internally stores the page height and width in a memory location whose maximum value is 32767 (that is, 2 to the 15th power). The number represents the number of "twips", where a twip is 1/20 of a point and a point is 1/72 of an inch. Doing the arithmetic, 32767/(20 x 72) = 22.75 inches If possible, copy your content to Publisher, which will allow you to use larger page sizes (depending on what your printer is capable of handling). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
