I can't change paper size!!

**Hoyaguy** · 02-10-2013, 01:12 PM

Hopefully, someone can help me out with this issue!! The paper size on my excel spreadsheet is stuck at .13 x 3.94!! If you go to the drop down box it only gives you options from .13 to .94 x 4". It is almost like it is stuck in some kind of label mode. I can't get it back to 8.5" x 11" or anything else. If I open a new worksheet it has the same problem. Any ideas?

Hello
Please provide some indication of the version of Excel you are using.
Have you changed printer settings to for example a label printer ? I would also check the installed printers and change to a printer that does A4 / letter and try the page setup again.

Regards

Thanks guys! It was the default printer causing the problem. I actually don't even have that one hooked up anymore. I changed printers and that solved the problem!! Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

I recently had the same issue. After some research I discovered the problem in my case. I recently printed a label on a well known label maker. A few day later I opened a one page excel document that print preview showed as 308 separate, label sized pages. Also, the page size could not be adjusted any larger than HS 0.93". Cause: This label printer arbitrarily morphed as my default printer which was causing the problem. The Solution: In excel, click the office button on top left corner of screen, click on print, switch out to correct default printer. After I corrected it everything went back to normal...
