Word for PC had a "Poster Printing" option (within the Print options or preferences) that blew up a standard one-page document so it covered 4 (2x2) or 9 (3x3) or 16 (4x4) sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper, which you could then piece together like a puzzle to make a huge version of your original document. In other words, it treated the one-page original as if it were divided into a 2x2, 3x3, etc., grid, and then enlarged and printed each square in the grid on a separate sheet. Despite the necessary scotchtaping or gluesticking, this was a pretty quick and inexpensive way to make a poster viewable from a distance. I just switched to a Mac but can't find this option in either Word or Pages. I saw one suggestion to use Numbers, but I'm hoping it's do-able in a word-processing program. --Rob
