You just put the default printer in printers, the one that prints on A4 format and it will automatically load everything into the page parameters.

Sometimes it seems that the problem of printing A3 format on two A4 format is very difficult to solve and you cannot do without professional help. But in fact, there are ways that you can easily get one large drawing on two sheets of standard sizes.

Special programs for printing

To begin with, sometimes you just need to print A3 format on a regular A4 printer, that is, change the scale of the image and place it on a standard sheet of copy paper. To do this, you just need to go to the print menu and select the A3 format. After that, click the option "One page per sheet", select "Fit to page" and put a tick on "A4". All that's left to do is start printing.

Now in more detail about the methods that will help you print A3 on two A4 sheets:

Program PlaCard... This software is specially designed to print large size posters on several A4 pages. The program has a function of splitting one large image into two or more fragments, which correspond in size to A4 sheets. PlaCard allows you to selectively print, edit and modify graphic formats... With its help, you can easily download any picture from the Internet or a scanner.

Program Easy Poster Printer... Having downloaded it to your computer, you can print A3 to 2 A4 in just a few minutes. At the same time, you can easily control the quality of the printout, scale the image, adjust the marking lines and perform any other manipulations with the picture to achieve the desired effect.

Program Posteriza... This free software allows you to change the number of fragments of the picture in a special tab "Size". With its help, you can quickly print any A3 drawing on two or more standard sheets.

Easy way to print in AutoCAD

This method does not require additional software and can be easily applied by anyone printer:

We divide the A3 sheet into two parts by two invisible frames (viewports).
We expand the two resulting frames by 1 cm each and shift them so that an overlap is obtained - this is for future gluing of the two halves of the image.
In the "Print" section, in the A4 sheet format we enter the first half of the picture, and then the second.
It is imperative to check the scale - it must be the same for the two halves. By the way, if the frames are the same, then the scale is automatically equal.

How to print using Excel

This method is suitable for those users who know how to work with spreadsheets. Excel... Though deal with it in a simple way not everyone can print.

First, we create a blank Excel document and add an image to it that needs to be printed on two A4 sheets.
Go to the "View" section and click on "Page Layout".
Stretch the drawing so that it goes beyond the markers and is divided into two pages.
To make it easier to work and keep track of the borders of the image, you can zoom out using the option in the bottom corner of the page.
In the "Print" section, select book format sheets and set the size of the fields.
Before printing, we check the image using the function previewto avoid mistakes.

All of the above methods allow you to independently print an A3 format picture on two or more standard sheets. You can try any of them and decide on the most convenient one for you personally.

By default, the A4 page format is set in the MS Word document, which is quite logical. It is this format that is most often used in office work, it is in it that most documents, abstracts, scientific and other works are created and printed. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to change the generally accepted standard up or down.

MS Word has the ability to change the page format, and you can do this either manually or using a ready-made template by selecting it from the set. The problem is that it's not so easy to find a section where these settings can be changed. In order to clarify everything, below we will tell you how to make A3 instead of A4 in Word. Actually, in exactly the same way it will be possible to set any other format (size) for the page.

1. Open text Document, the page format in which you want to change.

2. Go to the tab "Layout" and open the group dialog "Page settings"... To do this, click on the small arrow located in the lower right corner of the group.

Note:In Word 2007-2010, the tools needed to change the page format are found in the tab "Page layout" in section " Extra options".

3. In the window that opens, go to the tab "Paper size"where in section "Paper size" select the required format from the drop-down menu.

4. Click "OK"to close the window "Page settings".

5. The page format will change to the one you selected. In our case, this is A3, and the page in the screenshot is shown at a scale of 50% relative to the size of the window of the program itself, since otherwise it simply does not fit.

Changing the page format manually

In some versions, page sizes other than A4 are not available by default, at least until a compatible printer is connected to the system. However, the page size corresponding to a particular format can always be set manually. All that is required of you for this is knowing the exact value according to GOST. The latter can be easily recognized thanks to search engines, but we decided to make it easier for you.

So, page formats and their exact dimensions in centimeters (width x height):

A0 - 84.1x118.9
A1 - 59.4x84.1
A2 - 42x59.4
A3 - 29.7x42
A4 - 21x29.7
A5 - 14.8x21

And now about how and where to specify them in the Word:

1. Open the dialog box "Page settings" in the tab "Layout" (or section "Extra options" in the tab "Page layout"if you use old version programs).

2. Go to the tab "Paper size".

3. Enter the required values \u200b\u200bfor the width and height of the page in the appropriate fields and then click "OK".

4. The page format will change according to the parameters you specified. So, in our screenshot you can see sheet A5 at a scale of 100% (relative to the size of the program window).

By the way, in exactly the same way, you can set any other values \u200b\u200bfor the width and height of the page by changing its size. Another question is whether this will be compatible with the printer you will be using in the future, if you plan to do so at all.

That's all, now you know how to change the page format in a document. Microsoft Word on A3 or any other, both standard (GOST), and arbitrary, set manually.

The standard format for Microsoft Word is A4, which corresponds to a standard office sheet of paper, but what to do when it is necessary to carry out work and get the result in A3 format?

There is nothing difficult, just make a few changes to the settings of the working document.

But it is worth considering that when choosing the A3 print format, you need to know if your printer can print in this format. If, unfortunately, such functionality is not available to him, then the choice will be impossible.

There are two ways to set the A3 format. The first one concerns the settings itself word programsthe other is to change the print settings.

Let's consider the first way:

1. To change the format of the document from A4 to A3, you need to go to the tab "Page Layout" - "Size" - "Other sizes".

2. In the settings for other sizes, go to the "Paper size" tab and specify the appropriate sizes, namely "Width - 29.7 cm", "Length - 42 cm". These dimensions correspond to a sheet of A3 format.

3. After the performed operation, you must save the changes and you can continue to work already in the document, which will have the size of an A3 sheet.

Method two: changing the page format through the print settings:

1. To open the print settings for a document, go to the "File" tab and click on the "Print" item. You can also use the keyboard shortcut to open the print settings Ctrl + P.

2. In the window that has opened, click on the "Options" - "Advanced" button - this will open the menu additional parameters printing a document, where you can directly select the format of the document itself - A3. This is exactly what we need.
