I can't seem to get this chart to completely print.
http://csodakep.5mp.eu/honlapkepek/csodakep/j4OLdFh7BM/nagy/timeline.gif
it either prints tiny on one page, or it prints ¼ of the chart to only one page.
i can't make sense of the "print settings" options, and the ones i have tried aren't helping.
Any hints on what i'm missing?:scratch

Is there any way that you can get the chart as a jpeg? The reason I ask is that it is currently a gif. I was able to save the picture to my desktop (right click on the image and select SAVE PICTURE AS). I inserted it into a Microsoft Word document. Trying to enlarge it across several pages by clicking and dragging didn't work. I also loaded it into Printmaster but couldn't resize it there either. Tried Publisher and Power Point - no luck there either. My experience with gifs is that even if you do manage to enlarge it, the print will be fuzzy. jpgs tend to maintain their clarity on expansion of size.
What did work for me was to copy, paste, crop, then enlarge in Word. I have it saved if you want me to send it to you.

thanks for the hint, i played around with the properties and made it open in ms paint... i was able to get it to print on 4 pages at an acceptable size and clarity.... thanks for the ideas of saving it as something else, i would not have stumbled onto the idea of using the paint program otherwise. :hug
