Paper size selections in A97

MLH
I got around to reading a bit on paper sizes.
A helpful resource I found was
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html

I would like to know how I can have a custom
paper size show up in A97. Specifically, I would
like to open a report in design view, click File,
Page Setup, the Page tab (middle tab) and find
my own ==say Pike's Peak Postal Card for
instance show up in there.

Is that possible? Will I have to construct this outside
of Access 97?

Custom paper sizes is a function of your printer driver and/or operating
system. If you create them there then Access should be able to use them
(only on your PC though).

I read Tony Toews Sat, Aug 17 2002 9:37 pm
post on the subject. It was informative. But I've
been unable to see the custom defined paper
size I created in the server settings dialog box
from A97. Access may be filtering the list of form
sizes set up there. There are many in the list of
predefined forms but relatively few show up in
the dropdown list in A97.
