You must install the driver for a printer that can print A3 and select that
printer when you create the document. -- Suzanne S.

When you say "won't let you", what exactly do you mean?
I don't have an A3 printer but I can set up an A3 paper size. It does prompt that my margins are wrong but clicking on Ignore is all that is required. -- Enjoy, Tony "AvStu" wrote in message ... im trying to make a text document which will be A3, but because my printers max size is A4 I was make it at home then print it else where. however word wont let me set up the page size in A3.

Are you setting up A3 as a custom size? I don't have the A3 choice with the
driver for a printer that doesn't print A3. -- Suzanne S.

Ah, yes! Now I understand what the questioner means.
AvStu - if you don't have A3 as an option, choose Custom and set Width to 29.7cm and height to 42cm and when prompted that the margins are too small, just press Ignore. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S.
