I have been asked to make someone a heart four times the size of an A4 page out of 12mm MDF.

Does anyone know how you print four A4 pages so that it looks like one big heart. :dunno:

I have went into PAGE, LAYOUT, also PRINT, PROPERTIES enlarged the size to B2 Still didn't print it

Any ideas

I don't have MS Works on my machine, but I have Publisher 2010, which should be similar. Create a new file and choose a custom page size, A2 is 42.0×59.4 cm. Draw your heart then choose print. Leave the paper size at A4 and the printer will print the image accross multiple sheets of A4 paper.

If you're using Word as part of MS Works, it looks like you can't print an image across multiple pages of A4, so you may want to take a look at this online utility http://bit.ly/332Uig
