Can I define a non-standard paper size in Publisher?

[Tim H]

I want to pre-cut paper to a non-standard size, and print straight on to it
for brochures, rather than having to print onto A4 and then cut down to the
brochure size. Is there any way in Publisher of defining a non-standard
paper size?

Define "non-standard". Publisher can print any size your printer is capable
of printing. For flyers, for example, I tend to print two to an A4 sheet and
guillotine. Easier all round.

You are such an arrogant hypocrite! You go on about how you have
switched to a Mac and how Macs are so much flippin' better at all of
this creative stuff (such as DTP), and yet you still post in MS
newsgroups that are for Windows software for some unexplainable reason.
Now you start talking about details of how you use Publisher?!? I
guess you are a liar, you have not completely switched to Macs as you
claim. Well, If Macs are so much better, the tell us why you are still
using "inferior" PC products such as Publisher?!?

Publisher (2003) will allow you to set any custom page size you want from
..017"x.017" to 20'x20' - The question is whether the *printer* offers the
desired paper size/custom setting as an option.

AFAIK, if the File>Page Setup - Printer & Paper list of Paper - Size: or the
printer's Properties dialog doesn't list that size or "Custom" you'll have
to continue printing on larger stock & trimming afterward. There may still
be a size listed that is closer to your desired custom size which may be
more economical than using A4. (BTW - Generally, inkjets are more likely to
offer custom paper size options than are laser printers.)

Publisher is very good with custom sizes as long as the custom size is defined
in your printer properties first. Most printers have custom settings you can
create, save and use over and over.
