>>Antonio,
>>I do think you are correct, however my Expr field does not show the same content as yours, in mine it has 'Papersize = 9' for A4, and since 11x17 inch or to be precise 11 17/24 x 16 13/24 inch = A3, user has to set to A3 (find the papersize id for A3), provided his printer can handle that.

>Koen, whenever you edit a report the editor resets the Expr field to known values to the system. If you have a custom paper size in your system that matches exactly the report dimensions, then the id of that custom paper size will be used (for instance, PAPERSIZE=389). However, this is not or may be not portable to another system.
