Le,
you need to do two things.
(You MUST have a dot matrix printer selected while doing this by the way.)
1.) in VFP while editing the report: from the top menu click on File, page setup, print setup, paper, size. From the paper size list select CUSTOM which is usally at the bottom of the list.
2.) In windows go to printers and right click on the printer you want to use. select properties then select the paper tab. The far right of the paper selections should be CUSTOM. You can set the size as desired. It must be a dot matrix because you can only set a custom page size with them. The custom selection does not even show up on a laser or ink jet.
You can then print your report to that printer and it will use whatever CUSTOM paper size you defined in the printer setup. I often create a new printer just to print things such as checks and odd size forms.
Hope his helps.
