if you have a picture that is a certain size that is bigger than A4, how do you print it off so you can stick the bits of paper together so its the size its meant to be. if that makes any sence :king:
its a template but is bigger than A4 so i don't want it to be scaled down

Cant you just copy the image it into a word document.
Then alter the size to fit over 2 pages by dragging on the edges of the picture.
Then when you print it off it will be easy to place together.

Is this picture an image on the computer? Because you should be able to view the picture and print it (by messing around with the printing settings). At least thats what mine does...it has a printing wizard. What ive said is probably not helpful, sorry! :(

stick the image on a flash / zip memory stick and take it to Boots to print out for you.

if you dump it onto ms paint, then go into page setup, you can tell it how many pages to scale it over - though I think maybe you want to preserve it to an exact size? - in that case maybe it will do that all by itself if you tick the 100% box - no tried it
or you could email me the pic and I could get the RAF photographer to print it out on there A3 or Poster colour photo paper printer at the cost of the postage down to you.
ps I don't go back to work till the 07 Jan.
