When you create a new form in the New/Setup Form dialogue box, and click Page Size or Custom Size in Form Sizes section, the dimensions in the Size section stay at 7 11/16 x 10 1/8. This occurs even if a different paper size, such as legal, was specified in Page Setup.

When you create a Page Size Form in the New/Setup Form dialogue box, the dimensions of the paper are based on the US Letter (8.5 x 11) setting by default.

= RESOLUTION =

You can change settings to use other types and sizes of forms.

To create a Database form based on a non-US Letter paper size, do the following:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Page Setup. Change the paper size to something other than US Letter, and then click OK.
 * 2) On the Insert menu in a Database document, click Form.
 * 3) In Form Sizes on the New/Set Up Form dialog box, click Custom.
 * 4) Change the dimensions of the form in the Size section to match the paper size selected in Step 1.
