Print a poster to letter size

Does anyone know how to print a 18" X 24" size poster
(this is the page size) to an 8.5" X 11" output page. In
essence I'd like to scale the poster size down to fit on a
letter size page.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Publisher, and everthing to do with
your printer driver. I use a Canon i9950 and, in the printer properties
under 'Page Setup', there is a drop-down menu marked 'printing type'. There
I have the option to either 'fit to page' or for 'scaled printing' - the
latter will do what you wish (assuming your printer driver has such a
function). If it doesn't, then I don't know what to suggest - grouping and
pasting to a smaller sized page, perhaps?

Is this poster a file on your computer? And if a file, what kind?, pub,
bmp, tif,

If it is a paper copy, do you plan to scan it?

Please give details and we can better help you.

===========================
It may help to know which version of Publisher are
you using. And...was this poster created with Publisher?

I agree, I do have different options with the two
different printers that I am connected to. However, these
scaling options still don't give me the option to print to
a page size of 8.5" x 11". When I scale the document down,
it prints smaller but still tiles onto multiple pages???

(I also use Pub 2000)

Open two sessions of Publisher, one with the poster, the other with a new
work space.

Right click your poster and Copy

Go to the second session, and Paste.

The poster will be very large and all you gave to do is click on a corner
and move the cursor toward the middle of the poster until you reach 8½"x11".
