    My wife wondered if I had a way to make a page of print larger. In all my computer use I do not recall ever wanting or needing to do this. Does anyone know of a way to enlage a typewritten standard letter size printed paper? I have a Canon MP270 printer and a Dell laptop Windows 7. I had to admit I knew of no way to do this nor had I the need or desire but there must be some way. Anyone have any ideas????? Appreciate hearing them.

    Look under Font. You can change both the print used and the size of the print.

    Depending on what I want or need to fit on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, I might use a size of 10, 12 or 14.

    A little more detail on the typewritten sheet and I can give a more complete answer.

    I was going to point you to the manual but it is 678 pages!

    To add: some print dialog windows will provide an enlarge option. Sometimes you have to hunt for it. Here's an example.

    It looks like a normal print 8.5"x11" page. I have never done anything like this so it may take some time. After looking at it, it may be good to fold the paper in half then copy and enlarge to 8.5x11 normal size then do the second half. Thanks for the help. I have zero experience with this.

    Does your printer take 81/2" x 14" sheets?
    You could try "stretch" to fit on a longer sheet of paper.

    Possibly copy and paste the dialogue from the 8 1/2" x 11" paper into a text file. Then change the format and size so it will go onto 2 pages instead of 1 page.
