Printing PPT 2002 landscape on 11X17

[Guest]

When I try to print my flow chart on the powerpoint slide, it keeps printing
on the 8 1/2 X11 instead of the tabloid 11X17 that I keep entering in the
print setup etc...
How do I make it print correctly on the correct paper size?

Did you set up your slide as 11 x 17 in PowerPoint (File, Page setup, change
width and height)?

Two steps:

It sounds like you've set the SLIDE size (File, Page Setup from within PPT)

But when you print, PPT will scale the slides, whatever their size, to the
currently chosen PAPER size in the printer driver. If that's letter, you get
tabloid slides scaled down to 8.5x11

So when you do File, Print, select your printer driver, click Properties and
set the desired PAGE size there.

Now when you print, all should be well.
