Well since a few folk asked for what I was told, here goes:

1 - First it seems as if there is no way for MI do this internally. 

2 - The best option appears to write to a PDF file & then printing to your
desired paper size with the 'fit to page' option clicked on. 

3 - If your plotter driver can support scaling, then this is another option.

4 - Do a custom 'save window as' and specify the dimensions to suit your
desired size.

5 - Save the layout window as a WMF file then insert it into Word or
PowerPoint and re-size it to the appropriate page.

If there are any other crafty solutions feel free to add to the list &
thanks again to all who replied :-)
