Microsoft Publisher, help please?

Question

I am trying to print off a basic cover for a DVD case, I had set up some bog standard templates that have worked fine in the past but now the document seems to have leapt from A4 to A3 or larger and the printer obviously cannot handle it and throws a wobbly. I have XP home and Office 2003, I have checked and rechecked every possibility in the tool bar that I can see for an option to resize the document but I can’t find it. I have tried the help, shrink or resize document and among the various useless suggestions was “add Asian characters” Please tell me what I am or have done wrong, as this is the first new cover I have tried to print off for several months. I did try to print a couple of covers that worked in the past but the same story, no dice (where did that expression come from?) Thank you for your patience in reading this far.

Update:

Thank you for your answers but they are not helping, the printer is set to A4, I have a landscape template with three text boxes, front, back and spine. The F1 error message sugests that the document is too big to print and in the tray it clains the doc is 12,200 x 17,000 cm. I want to resize it

All you need do is when you first open Publsiher, click on the Publications for Print category and scroll down to Labels, click left button of mouse and the main pane will display all label types.  Scroll about two thirds of way down to CD/DVD labels and the one that is probably the most suitable will be the Classical,  Avery 8931. I assume though you have already bought the labels so check the label number on the box. That is the one I have used for CD labels when I sell software, putting my logo on the bottom curve and my name in semi circle round the top.

Check your printer and make sure that you have clicked the correct size for your DVD case.  That should sort it for you.
