Trying to print A1 document on A3 printer

Hi
I have a A1 sized poster which I have created in Publisher 2007. Unfortunately I don't have access to a A1 printer, so I'm trying to print it on a A3 colour printer.

By my reckoning I should be able to print it full size, tiled in four A3 pages. However, when I go to print preview it shows the print tiled in 9 A3 pages. This is because print preview positions the poster in the middle of the 9 pages, and there is a huge margin all around the poster. i.e. the poster only takes up about half of the print space shown.

I need to "move" the position of the poster so that it fits on 4 pages. i.e. I need to move the top left corner of the poster up to the top left of the print preview.

It's not easy to explain, but hopefully that is clear!

Can anybody offer any suggestions as to how I might fix this problem?

Thanks

Colin
 
Panic over. I put my brain in gear and reduced the size of the paper slightly, and now it does what I want it to.
