We’ve been having a few students who are having problems printing to A3 in colour from the research room of the Education Library. A possible cause of the problem is that the MS Word Doc they are working from has the wrong ‘size’ setting and for some reason Word doesn’t re-scale it from A4 automatically.

A simple solution is to go to the ‘page layout’ tab in word and change the size of the Doc from A4 (the default setting) to A3. This will allow it to be sent to the printer, though be aware that the pictures/text in the document may need to be edited to fit the new doc size (most commonly the original A4 work is scrunched up in the top left corner of the screen when the page size is changed).
