Ideas? george see Print posters or other large format output http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00537.htm Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints and tips etc > Anyone know how to make larger formats?

Any other ideas, please let me know! Thanks, George > george > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > but > > like 100" wide. Ideas? TAJ gave you a link. If you apply the information in that link to your situation, you can create it a slide approximately 19" X 56" and then print on 34" X 100" paper and tell the printer to scale to paper size, you'll have what you want.

Ideas? Sonia, Tech says that won't work because the professional (not me) insists on images at 'original' scale. So we would have to create a half-scale original and then scale it back up again. I wish these guys would learn to use ascii data... Thanks anyway, George > TAJ gave you a link.

Ideas? Then PowerPoint is not the application to use, though I don't know what ASCII has to do with it. PowerPoint certainly wasn't designed to create posters although people try to use it for a lot of things it isn't intended for. I would recommend that you either use an image editing program like Photoshop, or look for an application designed to create posters. > Sonia, > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> >> > but >> >> > like 100" wide.

I can see what the Tech is getting at....if the Tech is thinking about pixels and bitmaps and words like that.....but powerpoint will output your poster at whatever quality the printer can print at. (Tell the tech it's all Vectors....that'll keep 'em quiet for awhile!) Cheers TAJ Wonder what that person does when faced with a Quark file, then? I mean, that max page size is only something lik 48"x48", yet Quark is used all the time for poster printing. Designers just use the same scaling principle as we'd use in PPT... -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com > Sonia, > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > > >> > but > > >> > like 100" wide. Ideas? > Any other ideas, please let me know! George, if you read the page, it explains how you make a page in powerpoint to the same proportions... For example - make a custom page size in powerpoint that is 3.4 inches high by 10 inches long. - then when it's time to print....you get the printer driver (print > properties) to scale to fit or some printer drivers work by App page size = This size Print to = This size Cheers TAJ > Thanks for trying.
