I can not print 24 X 36 prints to a plotter using PowerPoint 2003.

[Guest]

I am using PowerPoint 2003 and I change the size of my print to be 24 X 36
and send it to a wide format printer. My print comes out 8.5 x 11 no matter
what I change it too. Why can't I print the larger size?

PowerPoint will generally fit the current SLIDE size to the current PAPER size
you've selected in the printer driver. Sounds like you need to choose a large
format paper size.

Choose File, Print, select the printer you want to use, then click Properties
and choose the right paper size.

Then print

I have changed the print size, but it defaults back to 8.5 x 11.

You have to understand that we can't see what you're doing. Unless you describe
things step by step and using the terms that you see on PPT's menus and dialog
boxes, we have no idea what's going on.
