You may need to Zoom (under the View tab) to make it easier to see each of the boxes and monitor what you are putting into it. 50% is probably enough. Load each box with the text or figures you want by cutting and pasting from Word or Excel. Step 2: Print your poster on the Plotter Save your Powerpoint poster file to your M:/ drive *Save a copy of your Powerpoint file as a PDF (choose File Save As PDF or XMS then save/publish in PDF format) *A PDF file is smaller, & will print much faster, than a Ppt. file!! Formatting is also less likely to change during printing. Open the PDF file on a computer in a lab with a plotter: Reed Library 01 (basement) OR BH 570 Open the Print window Select the Plotter as your printer Do not check Scale to Fit Paper Click on the Properties button Advanced tab: Under Paper/Output Choose PostScript Custom Page Size In Page Size Definition window, set to actual final page size: Width to 36, Height to 54 (dont ask me why, but it is the opposite of your page set up in Powerpoint!) [Height = poster length] Leave Paper Feed Direction set on short edge first Paper/Quality tab: select normal (= default) print quality choose Landscape for final draft, select appropriate paper type here Color tab: You could choose to print a draft in grayscale, though you might want to see how the color is going to look In any case, change back to COLOR for your final draft! Check it out with Print Preview to make sure it looks the way you think it should Print!! Your printer account will be charged ~$10 (maybe more?) per printout (make sure your account is charged up) If you end up with any bad printouts due to a printer error only - keep them and take them to the Computer Lab office in EBH 36, where they can help you to get reimbursed for those print jobs. Additional note: IT has recently created some very helpful guidelines for printing a poster-style document on a large format plotter. These are available in the helpful computing tips rack by the main desk in the Reed Library lab. You may find these even better than my instructions! Good luck, & be sure to give yourself PLENTY of time for printing & proofing your poster BEFORE you must present it publicly!!! >FTU]a{| G H S Y n y # % ~~~w~plhR0 hvhv hqhv hv6hvh~hqh1 h} hJhhH2CJaJhH2CJaJhCJaJhhCJaJh556B*phhty56B*phhC56B*phh5h556B*ph hF5 h55 hJ5(>U|H z W J K t   & FgdJ & Fgd1  & FgdJ & Fgdv & Fgdv & Fgd} gdJ$a$gdJ% 3 R X 7 > M Q V W g k w { I J K t   78=Yfpx;žh#5"h<6h#5"hR# h<6h<h#5"hq5h#5"h#5"5 hq6hq hhh(hh hJ5 h} 5 h} hv hv6hv h"6h"hJh1 h_k5 7Yx =I@Hwxygd1 & Fgd@9N & Fgd@9N & FgdR# & FgdR# & FgdJ & Fgd *,03;DEGfghkq|=Cnymnpqs}ȹ٭ͭͭ͡hhRhR0hJh@9Nh#5" h(h(h(h(6 h(6h(h<h<6hR# h<6 h<h<h#5"h<6h< h#5"6 hR#6==Fw hJh1h E1h1h#5"hJ hJ6 ygd1,1h/ =!"#$% ^ 2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH H`H Normal CJOJQJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
