AI printing help please

[jimmyjet]

I downloaded the galaxian kickplate from localarcade (thanks-what a valuable resource).
I downloaded the 30 day trial AI.
Could someone post the steps to take that kickplate and have it print out at 23" wide?  I am printing onto 8.5x11 photo paper.  I just can't seem to do the right steps to get it to print at the correct size.  I either get something 16" wide or 50" wide.  I have tried changing the units of measurement to inches, rezizing the artboard to 23 wide, messing with the print setup and document setup, but still no luck.
Thanks for the help.

You've got to use the "page tiling" tool.  I don't have AI in front of me but the icon looks like a blank page.  Make sure your page set-up is set up and use that tool by clicking and dragging  to the corner of your artwork or wherever you want the page tiling to start.

Hopefully this will get you started and hopefully someone with AI in front of them can tell you more exactly where the tool is and how to use it.  I haven't used it in about a year.  Also try the help in AI and search for page tiling.

Open the document.

Then make a new document

Go to edit preferences, and set units to inches.

Go to document setup on the file menu, and set the page width and click the tile imagable areas.

Then go back to the document with the art, make sure all  teh layers are unlocked, select all, copy, go to the new document, paste. Use the arrow keys to position the art on the paper.
