[mso] Convert MS Publisher doc to TIFF?

This one is for the Publisher experts!  I made a print publication (a
research conference poster) with a custom size of 4' by 6'.  After finishing
a draft of the design, I noticed that Publisher handles large documents as
being comprised of many sheets of 8.5"x11", meaning if I wanted to print a
mock-up of the poster, it would pump out 20-something pages to literally
give me a 4'x6' sized printout (some assembly required)!
When I tried to revert back from a custom sized poster to a one page
document, it only resized the canvas, not all of the text and picture boxes
hovering above it.

To escape this dilemma, I tried saving the whole thing to a JPG or TIFF, but
neither format would work (Alert Box: "Publisher can not save the file.").
It did allow me to save as a GIF file, but with major compressing down to
around 2'x3' at 72 ppi.

I'd like to have, ideally, a 4'x6' sized TIFF at around 150 ppi, which would
be around 250MB+ in size, so as not to skimp on print resolution.  I would
then take that [huge] TIFF and covert to a more size-friendly file, such as
a PDF or JPG.

Any ideas?  This may not even be a "best practice" for creating posters in
Publisher, so if you have an entirely different suggestion altogether, I'd
love to hear it.  Thanks.
