Large format printer

[Ronnie]

I am trying to set up a document 11"x17" in size to print on a large format
printer. I can't seem to set up the document. When I view the document, it
appears to view the document on 4 separate sheets of 11"x8.5" paper. How
should I set this up?

I don't know the answer, but I recently came across the concept of
printing a large size picture in four pieces. Setting "poster" setting on my
printer.

Even if it shows it like 4 separate sheets of paper, how does it print?

My printer isn't large size, so I don't know anything about printing big
all in one piece.

I just tried opening a blank page in mine (Publisher 2000) and put in
page setup CUSTOM SIZE with your measurements, in both Portrait and
Landscape setting and it only showed one piece on the screen.

I'm just interested in figuring things out, I'm sure someone who really
knows will give you the answer.

You have to setup your printer first, then your page. Might be your printer has
a tabloid setting, this is the same as 11 x 17.
