Yep, it's A4. One salient point is that I changed PRN to the address of a network printer (a duplexing A4 laserjet printer). The printout appears on the printer, but the printer think's it's a Letter document (even though the printer defaults are set to A4), and won't print it until I override the paper setting on the printer (which has to be done for each and every job). Is there a better way to redirect the output to a network printer, which doesn't mess with the paper size (or at least takes note of the default paper size in the Control Panel) ? -- -- Rod Whitby, Snr Staff Engr, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
