From: jonski on 20 Jan 2010 16:59 I'm working on a brochure, it's A3. I don't have an A3 printer, but I'd like to see how I'm getting on in A4. So, I just want to shrink to fit. This was never a problem before, but I've searched this, I've looked around these forums and others, and they all suggest "shrink to fit" should work. Well, it doesn't! A3 is 43.17 cm x 27.94 cm A4 is 29.7 cm x 21.9 cm Whatever I select, be it shrink or scale, both in the word options, or in the printer options, or both, it always just prints the middle bit of the A3 sheet. In fact, sometimes now it's only printing one graphic! To get the right page size, you can see what I mean by starting with the "Professional Services Brochure" template. Here are the versions I'm on: Word 2010 version 14.0.4536.1000 (32 bit) Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Printer: HP Photosmart C4580 with driver 6.10.2009 I've really tried hard to resolve this, but I'm beginning to think there's a bug, and a workaround would really be appreciated - I need to see this printed out before it goes to the printer tomorrow. Even if it's A3 scaled to A4, that's good enough. It just doesn't want to do it.
