>>>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?

dot-matrix printer? if you tell it landscape, will it 'rotate' the form and print sideways instead of taking the edge off to print normal but wider?
