How can I select to print on 11 x 17 paper? It is not an option .

Mary,


File | Page Setup
Look for an Options button. You can control page size from there.

TJ,

I already did try to customize using File, Page Setup, Options. I do not
see 11x 17 anywhere. Nor do I see a place to input these dimensions.

Could you please give me a full path? Perhaps I'm missing something here.

in the dropdown formfield.

I'm not sure which vesion of Excel I've got. . . .2000??? No older than '97
that's for sure. My formfield selections are:

letter
legal
A4
A5
B5(JIS)
Envelope #10 Breadthwise
Envelope DL Breadthwise
Canon 4" x 6"

I doublechecked my version. Its 2000.

Like FGM wrote, you may want to check the printer.
I've only got Excel 2003 in front of me, and the when I click the options
button a dialog box with3 tabs, including Page pops up.

Check your printer setup. Can you print on 11x17 from
Word or another program?

You can check your version in the Help Menu.
There should be an About Excel option (the wording is slightly different
depending on the version).

Where exactly are you looking to change the paper size? If it's the Paper
Size Drop-down, perhaps you should look for the Options Button and try
that(it may be called something different-like Properties--in Excel 2000). If
it's not on the Excel 2000 Setup dialog, go to File | Print and look for
Properties.

If I go Page Setup Options Advanced I get the same selections.

The print sizes are a function of the Print Driver, so perhaps updating it
will make a difference.

Ok guys, I've got it. REALLY dumb. This printer doesn't have the capacity
for 11 x 17 (also known as ledger). Last time I used a different printer.
Time for a new brain.

Thanks for your attention.

Been there, done that!

I've had the same issue; my home printer does not support 11x17, though I plan to go to Office Max to print. My workaround was to use the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option (an alternate printer) which DOES support 11 x 17. Hope this helps.
