This may be true on your printer, Matt, but not on mine (in Word 2002 or
2003). Word gets its paper size selection from the printer driver, and my
printer does not offer the Statement size. In Word NT, 2000, and XP, you can
define custom paper sizes (Start | Settings | Printers | File | Server
Properties); this option is also available through the Printer Properties,
but my printer at least (LJ 4100) permits only a certain number of custom
sizes; to add more, you have to delete some of the existing ones.
