Set page length in macro

[Keith Thompson]

Hi,

Anyone have any idea if a page length variable can be set in Excel VBA?

I have to print custom size tractor feed labels on a DM printer.

TIA

Keith

Keith,

Recording a macro while setting the paper size yielded code, which I've
stripped of unwanted stuff:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PaperSize = xlPaperLegal
End With

It reduces further to:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PaperSize = xlPaperLegal

For other paper sizes available, I put the cursor on PaperSize and pressed
F1 and got:

XlPaperSize can be one of these XlPaperSize constants.

Thanks for that.

It looks like I need to use the *xlPaperUser* constant, but I can't find
anything on how to assign a value to it. Even searching Microsoft's web
site didn't reveal anything. Going to try using it 'as-is' and see what
happens.
