Default Printing wide pages

Any suggestions on printing wide pages? I tried using landscape mode but
still the last two columns were off the page. Use smaller font? I don't

see how.

There must be a way.

Using XP Home.

TIA

Paste it into wordpad, change the font and try again.

Zim zim ala bim, the spirits are about to speak. What? Huh? Oh, they
don't know from what software you are trying to print, either, to tell
you how to make it change font attributes in its print job to the print
spooler.

"Shrink to Fit", as GG suggests, is a way to make
content fit a page.

The only thing I can add, is "Export to PDF" when using
a document editor, gives you a chance to review the
appearance of your work of art, before sending it to
the printer. When the PDF is open later in Acrobat Reader,
you have the usual print dialog. And if you had a Tabloid
sized document, you could always do a Shrink To Fit in
the Acrobat print dialog, to make it fit a sheet of
typing paper.

I just find printing from Acrobat to be slightly more predictable.
I find other printing options (even with a Shrink To Fit option),
will invariably produce bad output, wasting a sheet of paper
or a sheet of coated stock for photos on my inkjet.
