Is there any way to print, with Word, so that I can get multiple
sheets wide that I can tape together?

IIRC, Open Office will do this, at least the PowerPoint-type program
will.

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?

It's roughly 8.5" x 19" (landscape), so I'd like to print it onto 2
8.5" x 11" and tape together. (It's all text... scaled onto a single
8.5" x 11" it's hard to read.)

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.

Somewhat of a kludge, but try exporting it to PDF (using one of the free
third-party PDF generators, if necessary) and then print that file from
Acrobat or Foxit using the Print Zoom and Current View options.

Painful enough that you'll probably only want to do it once but if it's
a one-off that might be enough ...

Not bad actually., particularly since I have a "normal" 8.5" height,
then a "wide" page. So "fit height", print view, slide right, print
view, will work great!

Thanks for the pointer!

Excel does tiled printing. If you can transfer it and get the paper
size stuff to work that might do it for you.

If I understand it correctly, you are trying to produce large letters
which are wall-to-wall on the paper, with little or no gap at the edges.
You then tape several sheets together to form a banner.

I do this by converting blocks of lettering (at a large font size) into
a series of images, and then pasting the images onto the sheets of paper
so that they reach (or overhang, if you wish) the edges. [If you cannot
print right to the edge of the page, you will need to trim the paper as
required.]

You can create each image by doing a screen grab, pasting into most
imaging programs, then saving each to a filename. Then open blank Word
document(s), and insert the images. You can then adjust the size and
position of the images as required (even over the edges of the page).
