Setting Paper Size in Internet Explorer

[Joel Bower - Finance Now Pty Ltd]

Hi,

ive found several tutorials on how to do this, and each of them say there is
a PaperSize value in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings, but i cant seem to find it. Can anyone tell me the correct place
this value is stored?

Regards,
Joel

If you look at

http://tinyurl.com/5k496

for reference

In the Printer settings section it lists
PaperSize as a REG_DWORD with a setting
1=Letter
5=Legal
9=A4
13=B4

with the default being 1 (this default exists even if the setting is not
there)

to enable the setting

open the Registry Editor
navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Internet Settings


and in the right hand pane
right click your mouse
select New>DWORD Value

a new value will appear wating for you to rename it
give it the name
PaperSize
press enter
then right click on PaperSize and select Modify

add the desired value from the list above ..for example I have 9 in
there because I want A4 as my default, then click OK

exit out of Regedit and to be on the safe side reboot to ensure the
setting gets picked up.

Hope that helps

unfortunatly, it does not seem to have an effect. I created the PaperSize
value, and set it to 5 (Letter, it was already A4 in internet explorer).
Then i opened the page setup dialog in internet explorer, where i expected
to see the paper size set to letter, but it was still A4.

The url is for windows Windows CE 5.0, so im not sure if it would work with
windows xp? thanks for your help anyway.

Perhaps useless there, but I find a "paper_size" valuename (REG_SZ)
at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup\

I make no claim as to this being pertinent there.
