>>I have a client who is a subcontractor for a major phone company. In order to invoice the phone company, my client has to print on the phone company's forms.
>>
>>Given that, and the fact that their forms are 11" by 8-1/2" (with the holes on the 8-1/2" side), I'm having a hard time getting a good print orientation.

>>First, I had to tell Fox that I had my client's wide-carriage printer so it would give me more options (under File/Page Setup) than it gave me on my little desk jet. Second, I told it to go Letter Transverse, which I thought meant 11 x 8-1/2, but it looked like it reverted to regular letter. Then, I tried User Defined Setup. But that yielded extremely strange, though downright humorous, results.

>>Does anyone know what Transverse means? Do you know how to use User Define Setup to make it go 11 x 8-1/2? Barring that, what can I do to make it 11 x 8-1/2?

>will the printer print landscape (instead of portrait)?

Yes, it will, but then the user wouldn't be able to use the continuous-feed holes. They'd have to tear off each page and manually feed them, one at a time.

Also, I tried designing with landscape in mind, then telling it to print portrait. Unfortunately, it thinks it's working with an 11" piece of paper and will form-feed accordingly.

Any additional help will be greatly appreciated! Thanx,
