I got this from the November 2010 BOM. I've used it several times now and I didn't know how to enlarge either...........Hope this helps.
How to change the size of your print-out.
1. Click on Template A
2. Left click on File
3. Go to Print Preview
4. On that ribbon, go to the box that says "Shrink to fit"
5. Click on the down arrow
6. Scroll to Custom, click
7. Type in 111% as your starting point, hit Enter
8. Place your cursor on the Printer on the same ribbon
9. Left click
10. Printer box comes up. Be sure you only print one for now. Measure the “Test 1inch” box and make sure it measures 1 inch.
If it doesn’t………keep adjusting the 111% up or down till you get the right size.
We are finding only the Template A needs to be adjusted and printed in “Landscape” mode. However, check the test box on each as you print them.
