You must install the driver for a printer that can print A3 and select that
printer when you create the document.

When you say "won't let you", what exactly do you mean?

I don't have an A3 printer but I can set up an A3 paper size. It does prompt
that my margins are wrong but clicking on Ignore is all that is required.

Are you setting up A3 as a custom size? I don't have the A3 choice with the
driver for a printer that doesn't print A3.

Ah, yes! Now I understand what the questioner means.

AvStu - if you don't have A3 as an option, choose Custom and set Width to
29.7cm and height to 42cm and when prompted that the margins are too small,
just press Ignore.

Enjoy,
