Troubleshoot printing a poster, banner, or other large publication

Reprint part of your publication by moving the zero points (the square where the rulers intersect) of both rulers to the place in your publication where you want Microsoft Publisher to create and print a new tile (tile: One of a number of separately printed parts of an oversized publication, such as a banner or poster, that cannot be printed as a single sheet. Separate tiles can be assembled to recreate the whole publication.).

1. Position the mouse pointer in the upper-left corner where both rulers meet until the pointer changes to an arrow.
2. Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you drag the zero point to the spot where you want to begin printing the tile.

3. On the File menu, click Print.
4. Click Change Overlap.
5. Click Print One Sheet.
6. Click OK twice.

 Note   Printing to a large format printer is not supported in Publisher 2003. For more information, follow the link in the See Also.

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. Click the Printer & Paper tab.
3. Under Paper, select the paper size you want. The preview in this dialog box shows how many sheets of paper will be used to print your large publication.

1. On the File menu, click Print.
2. Click Change Overlap.
3. Select Print Entire Page.
4. In the Overlap Sheets box, enter a measurement.

 Note   All desktop printers printers have a non-printing region at the margins.

To print a banner to banner paper, you must use a printer that supports banner paper size. To determine whether the printer you're using supports banner paper, check the options available under Paper on the Printer and Paper tab in Page Setup.

Printing errors can result from issues related to Microsoft Publisher, the Microsoft Windows operating system, or printer hardware. For more information about printing issues related to banners, follow the link in the See Also section of this article.
