Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer Page/Paper Size?
I think I see the problem. Unfortunately: There are no other paper sizes with which to test my theory. No other paper sizes that have different designations in Format - Page - Page - Format and in the printer dialogues. I *suspect* the problem is that LO has a paper size named Tabloid and the printer dialogue has the same size paper listed as 11x17. If I set LO's paper size to Legal and the printer to the same: It sticks. If I try to do the same with Tabloid vs. 11x17: It does not. MS Office refers to it as 11x17, btw. Is there a way to define a paper size to LO? Regards, Jim -- Note: My mail server employs *very* aggressive anti-spam filtering.

Is there somewhere I should submit this as either a bug or enhancement request? I think if they just added 11x17 to the paper size list, the problem would go away.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer Page/Paper Size?
This may or may not be of help. Are you sure it says 11 x 17 and not 17 x 11 Windows may not match a 17 x 11, but if you define your own and format a 11 x 17 might work. The key is how the software interprets the printer driver in regard to paper length and width. IE: I don't know what a 17 wide piece of paper is so I won't do it vs I know what a 17 long piece of paper is and I will print in landscape. It is an issue which a friend of mine (Thanks Marc) came to with a document that would not print an Excel spreadsheet in landscape properly.

But Print - Properties keeps reverting to 8.5x11. I've tried upgrading to 4.1.6. No help. I deleted C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\LibreOffice (and OpenOffice). No joy. I usually print to pdf and use it later, to print phisically. I tried both methods: i) Printer settings, properties and ii) Print, properties and both worked. What I did: First, I set the document page size to folio. Second, I set the phisical page size to folio. I saved, closed the program, loaded LO, loaded the file, and the settings persisted. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
