Why can't I print in a poster size; it doesn't enlarge my documen

[Joe Knee]

I am trying to print a letter size document onto multiple letter size sheets
to make a poster. After I go to page set up and select poster, when I check
preview, it shows a poster size sheet but my document is still small and
hasn't been enlarged to fill the poster. It prints the same way too. Can
anyone help?

Publisher will not automatically enlarge your document to fill the new page
size (and I would hate it if it did).

You can select all in your document, group, copy, and Edit > Paste Special
as an image (try metafiles before bitmaps for quality reasons), then enlarge
that to fill the page.

Or you can select all, group, resize the group to fill the page, and then
manually edit the text sizes.

Ed, you seem to know your stuff about this poster business. 2007 publisher
has changed a LOT! I want to send my poster to my plotter to print but can't
seem to get beyond the page tiling, which also means the print comes out on
multiple pages. What helpful suggestions can you give me???

You need to set your paper size in Print Setup (the new name for Page
Setup > Printer and Paper) first; then you should get an option for "One
page per sheet" rather than "Tiled" in the same dialog.
