I want to print a banner on a scroll plotter...is this a limitation of MS Word or do I have some setting wrong? I am choosing the correct scoll plotter.

Thanks.

Can anyone change their MS Word to print a document over 22" in length or width?

I am not able to.

Thanks.

File > Page Setup > Paper tab

*Edit - It won't let me go with over 22" in length but it will for width.

But I can't change the page size to anything larger than 22". I am attached to a 36" scroll printer and Word won't allow for anything larger than 22".

I dunno for sure as I'm don't have a roll-feeder attached on this network - but it seems like that is really a function of the printer-driver, not Word. Check your printer driver settings.

Have you tried printing the size you want with another program, like Excel or AutoCAD???

Hi Ozee. Microstation allows me to print 36" x many many feet.
