How do you print an oversized piece to scale down on normal paper? I cant
find a "scale to fit" type option anywhere in the print dialog.

That would be a printer function.

I cant believe it would really be just a printer function. All the other
programs i use (mainly adobe) have a way to scale down to the size of the
paper when it prints without going into the printer settings to do it. Would
be a helpful feature to put in an update. Not many people even know what a
PDF is

Adobe software is generally considerably more expensive than Publisher.

You're kidding, right?

not kidding at all, i work for a printing company and constantly dealing with
files created by customers who dont know what they are doing. You ask them
if they could send a PDF instead of the raw
publisher/indesign/pagemaker/etc... file and they are clueless what im
talking about. Its nightmare after nightmare
