Publisher changes the default paper size before I print
I go to page setup and change to 5 x 7 (as I am makeing a postcard of that
size). I create the document. Then I go to print. I make sure the paper size under page set-up and on my printer is "index card 5 x 8" I hit print. The printer or program has changed the papersize to 8.5 x 11 and my pre-cut postcards are ruined. What is the issue here? Does anyone know?

Publisher changes the default paper size before I print
What are the dimensions of your pre-cut card? If there are two cards per page, use
the postcard half page setting. If you are setting up your printer for 5 x 8 then the printer is expecting stock that is 5 x 8. If there are two cards per sheet, you need to setup your page for the dimensions of one card, you will have one card on your screen but two will print. I suggest you use plain paper for experimenting. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Rod" wrote in message ...

Thanks, but the pre-cut card is actually an 5" x 8" postcard. 1 per sheet.
When I set everything up and even use print-preview it shows me one card per sheet. but when I hit print. The printer defaults to 8 1/2 x 11 and the 1 card prints incorrectly. I actually went in to the printer settings and changed the default paper to the 5x8. But something is still amiss. Publisher keeps trying to do what I want. Everytime I save the file I have to go through the whole process again. "Mary Sauer" wrote: What are the dimensions of your pre-cut card?

Do you have a custom setting in your printer? Most printers you can create a custom
page, give it a name and save. In Publisher's page setup, the paper size will reflect this custom setting. What version Publisher? What printer are you using? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Rod" wrote in message ...

Adding to Mary's post, Rod, you may want to consider making your postcards
a maximum of 4¼"x6". This is the max size USPS will deliver at the postcard rate of 23¢. This information was taken from "Letter-size mail dimensional standards template" D-1050251 Rev A. -- Don Vancouver, USA "Rod" wrote in message ...
