The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q101738 SUMMARY
Because Publisher has the ability to do tile printing, you can
print pages that are larger than a single sheet of paper. To print
posters and banners, you can use tile printing and then trim and tape
together the sheets of paper. Using this method, you can print posters
of up to 20 feet by 20 feet in size.
You may want to print or reprint only portions of your banner or
poster (for example, if a single page printed incorrectly or was
jammed in the printer).
To print only one section of your poster or banner, follow these
steps:
- Drag the zero-point of the rulers so that they intersect at the
upper-left corner of the page you want to print. You can do this
by clicking the intersection of the two rulers, hold down the shift key
then press and hold the right mouse button, then drag the rulers to
their new positions.
From the File menu choose Print, make sure your printing options are set
as you want them and choose OK. For Publisher 3.0 and Publisher 97
click the Tile Printing Options button then go to step 3. Publisher
will display the Tile Printing Options dialog box.
NOTE: Pub 2.x only. This dialog box will only appear if you have
previously selected the Special Size option in the Page Setup dialog box
and specified that you want to print a page that is larger than a single
sheet of paper
- From the File menu, choose Print, make sure your printing options
are set as you want them, and choose OK. Publisher displays the
Tile Printing Options dialog box.
NOTE: This dialog box will only appear if you have previously
selected the Special Size option in the Page Setup dialog box and
specified that you want to print a page that is larger than a
single sheet of paper.
- Under Options, choose the Print One Tile From Ruler Origin option.
- At the bottom of the dialog box, select the Print TrueType as
Graphics option.
- Choose OK.
Publisher prints the page of your poster or banner that begins at the
point you specified.
