If your printer can't handle a piece of paper that size, then you can't do
it.

If you have Adobe Acrobat, you can "print" to a pdf of that size. Then take
it to someone that has a printer that can handle that size.

Hello JoAnn,

Thanks for the reply but I am aware of that.

Install a printer driver that will allow you to set the page size you
require (tabloid in your own specific case) and use the Publisher File /
Page Setup menu to select that specific driver and then select "tabloid" in
the driver for the page size. A suitable printer driver would be PDFCreator,
which is readily downloadable freeware and which will enable you to print to
a pdf format file and to various other formats.

Hi, LAM -

Blank Pub
Book Fold
Automatically insert pages? YES
File
Page Setup
width 8.5
Height 11


That should give you the set up for an 11x17 newsletter. You can add
additional pages. If your printer can't print on 11x17 paper you can at least
print out the individual pages on 8.5x11. (I used to tape them together to
take to the plate maker! or photocopy them on the copier that would take
tabloid size.)

Note: Margins and gutters are always an issue!

You can save that file and just fiddle a little with the page/print settings
if you get a printer that prints on tabloid size paper.
