HELP: Printing Word in Letter layout onto Tabloid?
Subject:HELP: Printing Word in Letter layout onto Tabloid? From:Scott Browne <sbrowne -at- UNICOMP -dot- NET> Date:Thu, 15 Jan 1998 15:20:55 -0600
Okay, I'm stumped.
I've checked MS Word help and I've asked everyone in the office who
might know and I've still had no luck.
I have a Word 95 doc that was given to me and I need to print it out.
The Word doc is a 4 page newsletter. The person who created the
newsletter did the layout in 8.5 X 11. I need to print it on 11 X 17 (so
it can be folded in half, you know - the typical easy newsletter).
Is there a way to get Word to print a doc in Letter layout onto Tabloid
paper? I don't mind printing one page, then feeding the paper back in to
print the next, then turning the paper over, etc. I just don't want to
have to layout the thing again.
If I can't find a printing solution, I'm going to lay it out in
PageMaker (like it should have been in the first place) but I'm hoping
for an easy way out.
