Hi Karen, 
I tried so many variations yesterday I can't remember which setting I stayed 
with, but I did have to change the form size to 8.67" instead of 8.5".  Then it 
worked perfectly.  I know when I last modified the reports, I did try to make 
sure my lines were 6/inch high, and it didn't happen with any of the 8.5x11 
forms - just the 11x8.5.  Maybe it's just a coincidence that I had to make a 
1.67" adjustment.  Anyway, it's working and I'm happy.  Thank you for all your 
help.  (You know I'm one of those mouse-hating, dos-loving old ladies.)

Patti:

The only thing I can comment on is that we did NOT have the "skip over 
perforation" set off.

Hi Karen,
It didn't work.  I was able to set it up, like you said.  I had no margins 
defined - height 8.5".  
I made sure the test reports had no margins set.  The paper setup had my new 
paper size.  
Our printer has "skip over perferation" set off - just to make sure there were 
no other factors affecting the printing.  

The width of the printout is perfect, but every page is only about 8" high and 
report page 2 starts printing on the bottom of the first paper page.  I might 
try tomorrow to turn on the "skip over perferation" setting and see if it's any 
better.
  
I've been going right to the printer, skipping the ETXT file.  I hate to do it 
this way, because it ties up thea PC for so long.  We used to do the report 
processing at night, then print the next day.  But it seems the ETXT files 
don't work very well.  

Thanks for your help though.  
Patti
