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.
