How to print large image across several pages?

After using Appleworks for years I finally got Pages 09. In AW I used to be able to use drawing app to print large (36 x 36) images over several pieces of paper, simply by adding pages to the document. I would then tape the pages together to form the large poster. I can't see anyway to do this in Pages. It won't let you print any larger than 11x17, nor let you add pages to a layout to print a large image. Anybody know how to do this, or did I just waste my money?

imac, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Hi miegge

Welcome to the forum.

True, Apple has taken a few steps backwards on tiled printing in OSX.

However you can use the following 4 methods to get around this:

Check out PosteRazor at http://posterazor.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=download&lang=english

It will enlarge and tile a single page. Just be sure your have the necessary resolution.

Welcome to Apple Discussions

Yvan Koenig discovered with iWork '08 that you can span images across pages in a Numbers document as a substitute. Select & delete any tables & then treat the Numbers document as a draw document. You shouldn't need to add pages like in AppleWorks as Numbers adds them as needed to display all of the content.
