Are you saying you want to print 4 copies of the A4 poster on a single A4?

If this is the case and it's for printing I'd do it at the stage of printing using the printer software rather than in the word processor.

yes i guess so
i want to divide the a4 poster into 4 to make smaller leaflets

I'd do that when printing then. Much easier than trying to change the format of the page layout in the document itself. Exact procedure and features depends on your printer and printer software.

E.g. if it was me on my Canon printer I'd just go to Print, Printer Preferences and tick on 4-on-1 printing.

Cheers got a dell laser printer but now its only priniting one copy in the top left corner not four

doing it in word or something, just copy the picture to the document, resize it to a quarter of the page and paste it 3 times, position them on the page and print

Think you need to have four pages of the same poster (prepared as each for A4).
Then print, selecting 4 to a page. So your four pages all print on the one sheet.

(If you only have one copy originally then the printer can only print one example on a quarter of the sheet if you have selected 4 to a page.)

You copy and paste so you have 4 A4 pages (same thing on every page)

You then select 4-to-a-page when you print, and you will get pages 1 to 4 of your document on the same sheet of paper.
