Print on large format paper
Print on large format paper
(OP)
I want to print a small spread sheet on large ANSI D size paper. This spread sheet will be posted on a wall and I need room to write in some of the cells... and have an audience be able to read it.
For a simplified example.. consider one cell with one word (Welcome)in it.. now I want to print this and fill a ANSI size of paper with this one word.
At some point in the page setup there is an option to scale. It seems the maximum is 400% but this is not enough for my needs and does not fill the page.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might find something similar to "expand to page".
I expect that one round-about way to do this would be.. in my example... use the largest size of text available (72 point ?) and then scale it to a maximum... This would mess up the rest of the spread sheet which is "normal" and needs to stay that way so I would prefer not to go that route.
The other way would be to make my "sign" with a program like AutoCad or Solidworks... but then the secretary who is making this spread sheet would be out of the loop for changes etc..
Thanks for any thoughts

Each cell is a pixel...
It doesn't really address the original question - although it does present an alternate for something simple like a "Welcome" page.

if you want to keep the other part of your spreadsheet in normal dimension you can create a 'mirror sheet' formatted big.
as an example:
if you have relevant information in Sheet1!A1:D10
just type in sheet2 A1: =sheet1!a1
in sheet2 A2: =sheet1!a2
in sheet2 b1: =sheet2!b1
and so on
then you could format the sheet2 for big print and keep the sheet1 standard.
Maybe this can help!
