[philv11]

Hi

I am trying to do a project in Word which requires a sheet with a size of 74cm in length.It then needs to be printed as a full length sheet.I am not able to enter the sizes in page setup.

Is there a way to do this?Thanks for any help.

Use a custom paper size for your printer, then in word.

In page setup i selected custom size but the longest measurement that can be entered is 55cm.

Is there another way that 74 cm can be entered?

Problem is, how will you print the sheet?

If you don't have a large format printer you will need an app like these:

And why do you really need Word?

I mean if it is just to print a banner or something like that, there are better apps, more oriented to "vector graphics".

You can use one of these freeware ones:

or if it's a one time only, you can try this:

It is also possible that a limit exists in the printer driver, try installing a generic HPGL printer (corresponding to the entire family of HP and compatible plotters) this way you will have no limits in length from the printer driver side (if I recall correctly a limit exists, around 20 meters )

If you connect the driver to FILE, you can save the print file and later take it to a plotting service.
