Re: Word 2007 beta and paper sizes

Hi Roman,

Hmmm, not sure why you picked the Word 97 (ten year old version of that article <g>) but page layout in Word does rely on reading
the printer driver selected in File=>Print and its capabilities and presets. The feature you're referring to has to do with the
layout (spacing) of the text within the page boundaries of a given page size, not to a specific page size availability.

Hello!

I'm testing Word 2007 with disabled Windows XP.SP2
print spooler. Why in this case only six paper sizes are
available (Letter, A4, Legal, A3, B4, B5)?
Fortunately, "custom size" option is available...
For example, why there is no A5? I think that available
paper sizes should not depend on locally installed
printers (for example, I can edit document locally and
then print it via remote desktop). So, this KB (166016)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/166016/EN-US/
is not entirely true, isn't it? :>

"Use printer metrics to lay out document"

If this option is *enabled*, Word will
use the information from the printer
driver that is installed as in some
earlier versions of Word.

If this option is *disabled* (default),
Word will use build-in metrics to lay
out the document. This means your
document will look the same no matter
what printer driver is installed.
