>>Hi Enrique,
>>Escape sequences wouldn't be easy to implement unless you don't want a graphical output. Report designer uses, printer setup for page setup based on printers installed on your computer. To "cheat" install a generic\text only one. Select that one while designing and you will have to opportunity to define sizes up to 137.16*137.16cm. After desining and saving, open frx and blank fields expr, tag, tag2 of first record.
use myreport.frx
>>blank fields expr, tag, tag2
>>use
Then you could use that size, provided your printer doesn't have extra complains about size.

Enrique,
You could use escape sequences with generic driver. ie: ??? chr(27)+"E" would directly send escape+"E" to printer port (this requires port not captured and local). In NT too AFAIK generic printer setting supports personalized size though.
