Is there custom page sizing in FMP5?

Is there custom page sizing in FMP5?

Post by Fran » Thu, 17 Oct 2002 23:41:56



We are using  FMP 5.0v3 (on Windows 2000) and we are trying to print name
labels
A sheet of labels is 15 inches long (consisting of 5 labels each of them 3
inches).
If we set up Filmmaker's Print Setup for Legal paper size (14 inches long)
we can print 4 labels and the fifth address is printed on the next page -
but we are wasting every fifth label this way.

Does anyone know how to set up a custom page size in the FMP5?

Thanks in advance
Frank

Custom paper sizes are completly handled by your printer driver, if your
printer driver cant handle custom paper sizes, try hacking the PPD to add a
custom paper size (presuming it is a PostScript printer) or try using a
printer driver which has the paper size you are after, also see if 15" = a
standard euro paper size maybe A4.

1. Seeking programing help for a custom page size issue on dot matrix printer

The PaperSize property can be one of a number of constants, ie
xlPaperLetter.  But a user defined constant of xlPaperUser returns a "not
supported" error.  The question may deal with syntax for the object.  The
syntax is not readily available.  But still, there must be a way to print to
an 8 1/2 wide by 5 1/2 tall statement.  Can anyone help me please.
