Default Publisher Page sizes

Hi all!
I'm doing a project that consists of 3 x 3 A3 pages... (in other words there
are 3 rows and 3 columns of landscape orientated A3 pages)
I will be printing off the pages separately (as 9 A3 sheets, not one massive
A-1 page), but I will be working on the project as a whole, this is because,
after printing these pages will be put together to give the overall image, as
each page relates to all of the others.
This means that I am attempting to define a sheet of width 1260mm and height
891mm, that consists of 9 pages of A3 paper (420mm x 297mm)

However Publisher tells me that the maximum width I am allowed is 609.6cm.
Please can you fix it for me that I get the size page that I am after so that
I can produce a report that has the high level of graphical sophistication I
am trying to convey.

Many thanks in advance, spudule

What version Publisher are you using? I can input your measurements into
Publisher okay, but I cannot get 3 x 3 A3 pages without it tiling. I'm not sure
what you are wanting to do.

1260mm is the same as 126cm, which is less than 609.6cm. I think you're
mixing up mm and cm

9 sheets of A3 doesn't make A1, 4 sheets A3 makes A1.

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get just
what you asked for, but maybe not what you wanted!

Do not say it cannot be done, rather what you need to do it!

you with some intelligence

Ahh sorry about that Mary, I was informed by the navigation I made to get to
this forum that this was the publisher 07 specific bit, but hey ho, now you
know. I'm using Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition. Thanks
