Sergey,

I found something interesting: It seems that the form size number that PRTINFO(2) is the same value that is stored in the report file as PAPERSIZE=x; so by making that value equal to 5 I can change the paper size to "Legal".

These size numbers seem to be a standard for Windows, and not printer dependent. At least that's what I guess from the following Visio help item in MSDN:

Thanks,

Alex
