If you are designing a poster in PowerPoint you may find it helpful to check the size of your poster by clicking on File>Page Setup.

Please keep in mind that sometimes (rarely) Greek letters and other symbols created on one machine (or version of PowerPoint) are transformed into wingdings and other strange things on another machine, so please make a .pdf copy as a backup.

Please do not use Word, Visio, Pages or Publisher to create your poster as most places do not recognize those formats.

Some of the most common poster sizes are listed below to act as a pricing guide. You may also download a presized PowerPoint template from the table below.

You may download a selection of Western logos from this PowerPoint slide ( logo-source.pptx ) any of which you may copy and paste and resize into the poster you are creating.

Most poster printing facilities use either PowerPoint or .pdf files as the routine file formats.

For other formats, please check with the printing service you've chosen for compatability.

There are two places where your poster may be prointed on campus:

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Poster Printing Services located in Dental Sciences Building, Room 4013 of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.

Western Print Services located in Room 1R43 Arts & Humanities Building.
