Rant I seriously hate MS Publisher right now... AAARGGGHH need help

Ok here's the deal:

I have made a custom template in MS Publisher, it's size is equivalent to a horizontal A1 page, 840mm long and 59,4mm high. Or 8 A4 pages

That's all fine and dandy, my layout is starting to take shape and I'm in a pleasant mood

At one point me and the guy working on this agree that: hmm, maybe we should see how this looks when it gets printed out. Publisher has a function that will tile images, to large for a single A4, onto several pages. That was our original intent.

Up until now everything is cool runnings, but then; lo and behold the margins are all crazy, publisher has decided that it needs at least 10 pages to print out?? We try a different printer: 15 pages, we try CutePDF almost there, but still with crazy stuff going on.

In short: I have a layout on an A1 template i MS publisher, which I would like to be printed on 8 individual A4 pages.

On my A1 layout, I have tried to make sure that my text and images will stay inside 8 A4pages ,so as not destroy my stuff.

I need some help before I die from stress and hypertension

 

Use a proper program?

 

The thought occured to me

But at the moment it's a non-issue

 

there is an option to change the overlap.

I can check at work (it's not on my home PC)

I'll let you know when I get a chgance to check
