paper size 11x17

[katie]

I would like to print a worksheet on 11x17 paper, but
when I try to go into setup options, there is no option
of that paper size. How do I change it? Thank you for
your help with this.
Regards,
Katie

I just walked through the steps in Excel 2000. I don't have the actual paper
handy to test it, but it appears to work this way: File, Page Setup. On the
Page tab, change paper size to "user defined". Close the dialog box. When I
hit File, Print, my printer's paper size selector now shows "user defined",
too, and gives me a place to enter the actual paper size. In other words,
this isn't intuitive because the adjustments have to be made in two places.

If it doesn't work the first time, go to a coworker's desk and complain. Go
have some coffee, and come back & hurl obscenities at the computer. That
should do the trick.

Katie,

First you must select a printer that handles 11x17 paper
and make that the current (default) printer, then you
should be able to select the proper paper size. It might
be necessary to select custom or user defined to set the
proper size.
