You must define ALL custom paper sizes at the OS level (printer driver
level) for XP/NT/2000. In Win95/98 you did not.
Please review the following from: MS's knowledge base Q304639
In Windows 95, you can select the paper size Custom, and then select the
page height and width. Under NT-based systems, to print to a custom size,
you must select a printer form, which specifies the paper size. To view the
different forms that are available on your system, open the Printers window,
and click Server Properties on the File menu.
On XP Pro (and likely XP Home) you can add new printer paper size
forms from this properties window.
Once I made a new printer paper size form called My_Card -- with a size 5.5
x 8.5 you can then select from within Word "My_Card" as a paper size and
when I print with the corresponding card stock center fed -- it prints
correctly! Problem is solved.
Hope this helps some others. . . . .
