I can't get all three on an A4 sheet?
Hi Laura, thank you for your comment. There was actually an issue with the size of the uploaded file, which is why you would have been experiencing printing issues. This issue has now been corrected, so you shouldn't experience any further problems when trying to print the resource. If you do have any problems, please let us know... we are more than happy to help!
This displays as A4 but does not fill the page when it prints??? Never had this problem before! Any suggestions? Thanks.
