Custom paper size, where'd it go?

[Tim Parsons]

Just switched from Pub98 to Pub03. Went to print a 4x6 Postcard, but now there is no custom paper size option in the paper select menu... Am I not looking in the right place, or is it just gone? And if so, any thoughts on how to print to all these blank postcards with our letterhead on them?

Thanks, but that didn't work because I am using a "specific" printer driver, an HP LaserJet 4050. Which I WAS able to modify to fit these postcards back when I had both Windows98 and Publisher98... Any other thoughts, or am I just hosed

Thanks Mary, but try that then look at the Print Preview. It prints several postcard size images on whatever predetermined paper size you choose, but choosing the postcard option does not change the paper format, unfortunately. Layout and paper are independent choices. I need to print on postcard sized paper. A5 is close, but not close enough. Other thoughts

Oh piffle, I'll just use Word, which for some reason makes it easier to customize the paper output size than the supposed "publishing" program.

Tim, In your page setup, printer & paper tab, properties, paper tab, click custom and
input any size you want. Go back to the layout tab, click custom, your new size
should be reflected.

Thanks Mary. I think it is something specific to the drivers for the HP, because even when I go as far in as the Page Setup/Printer and Paper/Properties/Advanced Options/Paper Size, I still have a very defined set of options, none of which, unfortunately, is Custom. Yet when I go into Page Setup for Word it's on the opening screen. It was a simple postcard, so that worked for now... Thanks again though...

Mary, thanks for the hint of how to get a customized size. I have master it, but my problem is when i try to print the publication, I getthis lines indicating the margins. i have removed all margins from the publication but they are still present with the customized size form. When I just play and get the text where it prints where I want it on my postcard I do not see the margin lines, It seems to me that I must be missing a very basic setting. Can yo help me

There is a tick box for CROP MARKS and I would suggest you need to DE-select
that option.
