Hi
I have charts (various) in Project, that I want to printout on my HP
9500 plotter.
The plotter has a roll of paper that is 42" wide.
I setup the size under File > Print. ... no problem.
Now, I go to File > Page Setup...
Here's the problem...Page Setup does not allow me to use a
non-standard size source of paper. It has Custom sizes but does not
show the size I entered under File > Print ... just 8 1/2 x 11.
So, if I do a Print Preview, it panles (subdivides) the document to
be printed by the file size selected in Page Setup, not that
specified under File > Print.
File > Page Setup does not "see" that I have specified the plotter
with
a landscape paper size of 100 x 42 (100 or whatever length dimension
I give it).

I can choose other oversize paper sizes like ANSI E, F...etc. but
Project won't accept a specified non-standard paper size in Page
Setup.
Why not ?...and How to I work around this problem to be able to
specify
the plotter paper size ???
