The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: User has paper size not listed under Shift-F8|Page|Paper Size. Needs to create a paper size for the form. Solutions: ***THIS IS FOR A STAND-ALONE INSTALLATION--A NETWORK INSTALLATION WILL PROBABLY NOT ALLOW THE USER TO CREATE A NEW PAPER SIZE, THE USER WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE NETWORK SUPERVISOR***

1. Press Shift-F8
Press 2 for Page
Press 7 for Paper Size
2. If the paper size of the form you need to use is not listed here,
Press 2 for Add or Create
3. In the Format: Paper Type screen, press 9 for Other
Type in the name you want to give this Paper Size/Type, press Enter
***The name must be a unique name no other Paper/Size Type uses***
4. In the Format: Edit Paper Definition screen press 1 for Paper Size
5. Press the LETTER o for Other (not the number 0)
Type in the Width, press Enter
Type in the Height, press Enter
The Width is the measurement left to right the way you want to
print. The Height is the measurement top to bottom of the way you
want to print.
For instance, if you have a 7" x 4" postcard, and you want to print
along the long side of the card, 7" left to right, then 7" would be
the Width, and 5" would be the Height.

You will be back at the Edit: Paper Definition screen. If you are using a Laser printer, you will need to determine if you need to select a Landscape font. If the edge of the paper that you will place into the printer is NOT the same as the first number of the Paper Size, you will need a Landscape font. For instance, if you must place the 5" edge of the postcard into the printer, but the Width measurement is 7", you will need to select a Landscape font for 3 Font Type.

If you are using a dot matrix printer, you just turn the paper when you place it in the printer so the printer will print the direction you desire.

Press F7 until you get back to a document windows to save the Paper Size/Type you created. It will be available when you need to select it.
