Hi John!
First, there is really nothing that stops you from creating layout objects beyond the 'paper surface' in the layout window, even if it will look funny.
Secondly, you can install a printer driver that handles A0 without being physically in contact with such a plotter. Look for HP or Canon large format plotter drivers.
But this makes me wonder: How do you eventually propose to print the map? Without an A0 plotter I mean?
In order to create any kind of plotfile, you must have a suitable driver for the plotter and paper format.
The best solution, I would think is to get Adobe Acrobat. Then you can create pdf files in any format for easy distribution, printing or plotting.

Hello All,
I am drawing a map which I need to scale to A0 for printing. However I
do not have an A0 plotter. The problem is that when I go to the page
setup. I am only offered page sizes that my network printers can handle
(A3 max). Is there anyway that I can scale the map to A0 without having
the ability to print it???
As usual I am sure there is a very simple answer but I just can't find
it!!!
Any help much appreciated!
Cheers,
- John
