[Saturday89]

I am trying to create a poster that is approximately 20 x 30. Has anyone
created one? If so, can you give me some directions? Thank you.

Hi Saturday89

20 x 30 what? Feet? Furlongs?

Assuming you mean centimeters, then 20 x 30 is only a little narrower and
longer than A4, which is 21cm wide and 29.7cm long. Assuming that your
printer can cope with paper 20cm x 30cm, then at File Page Setup, on the
Paper tab, choose a custom paper size and print as normal.

Hope this helps.

I'm guessing the OP means inches, and Word can't do that. The maximum page
size is 22" in either direction. The OP will have to use some other
application (such as Publisher) that can print large paper sizes or tile
large files over smaller sheets. Some printer drivers also offer scaling and
tiling options.

Word MVPs - Forgive me for this.

Why are you using a word processing program and not a graphics or desktop
publisher program for this task?

Nope - not asking sternly. But I am trying to get a point across to the OP.
