Re: [libreoffice-users] scale a Writer document to print on one page

Hello:

I’ve been spending time with a daughter who is visiting for a week, and am just now getting back to 
my question about printing a document 22” by 17”.  The document I am interested in printing is a 
single page, twice letter size in both directions.  The area I wish to print is the entire area, 
with only ¼ inch margins.  It has many individual text boxes and would be very time consuming to 
reduce font sizes for all.

I was hoping to print it directly from the LibreOffice Writer document, but since that does not 
appear to be a possibility, I am content to save it as a PDF document and print that.  So yes, you 
can consider this matter resolved.

Thanks for the helpful responses.
