Is there any way to print, with Word, so that I can get

multiple sheets wide that I can tape together?

Sorry Jim, the question doesn't make sense. Do you mean banner
style pages? More detail of your application is needed.

Yep, "Banner" is what I guess it is called in the non-CAD world

;-) In my schematic and graphic programs it's called "tiled'
printing.

So, how large is your original page and how many pages do you want

to spread it over?

I've just checked and can't find any method in Word, but my printer
driver (Lexmark P4350) does it. There's an 'N-up' mode (multiple
Word pages per printed sheet) and 'Poster' mode which appears to be
what you need.


:-( My hp P2015dn seems not to have 'N-up' :-(

Yep, the Lexmark does it. I've just made an A3 page and printed it on a
3x3 matrix of A4 pages. Looks great.

Thanks for making me go and do that, I've never tried it before. ;-)

Have a look here http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html and
see if you can find a new driver with those features.

Alternatively, you could try making a PDF file with a custom paper size
(I use PdfCreator) and getting a local print shop to run you off a copy.
