How do I set a custom page size in Excel

[Guest]

I have the US version of MS Office 2003, but I'm now living in Japan where
they use metric size papers. This is fine if I want to use B5/A4/A5 size
paper, but what I'm looking for is B4 or A1 or some of those other sized
papers. Why won't Excel let me set custom page size dimensions since it
doesn't have a preset for these sizes?

Ben,

I usually set my current printer to one that has the paper siz
required, then the sheet size is simply selected from there.

I'm not sure I follow exactly. I have an Okidata 14e, which supports those
metric page sizes, but I'm not sure what you mean by setting the printer to
use one of those paper sizes? I may be missing your point.

Hi Ben,

I just installed the driver for the 14e, after re-reading you
questoin. To set a papersize the system follws the print device, an
not manyy printers can print odd size paper, so only standard sizes ar
generally available. Adobe PDFWriter (and probably any .pd
printer/writer) are printers that will accept custom sizes, though I'
not sure many standard printers will.


A printer such as the Electrasoft NT Print to Fax shows a wide variet
of paper options.

I'm not sure I follow exactly. I have an Okidata 14e, which support
those
metric page sizes, but I'm not sure what you mean by setting th
printer to
use one of those paper sizes? I may be missing your point.
