I need to print two slides side by side (portrait) on A3 (landscape) paper.
I have changed the printer settings for A3 and choose the "scale to fit
paper" option in the File, Print dialogue box. It prints in portrait on the
landscape setting but in A4 size only - the slides are not enlarged for A3.
Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks,
Michelle

You might try leaving the paper orientation alone in the 'Page Setup'
(i.e. portrait) and select 'Handout' in the 'Print what' window of the
'Print' dialog and then select two slides per page in the 'Handouts'
section of the dialog. Make the A3 paper selection (portrait) in the
Windows printer driver detail. I haven't tried this, but I think it
will give you what you want.

Try changing the printer driver setup to set magnification to 400%.
