Hi, I am using office xp 2002. The default page size is A4, changed the
printer settings to A4, and language to UK English. But when I start
Word
after making the changes, and try to print, and check properties, it
gives
the document size as 'letter'. Of course I can manually change it to A4,
but
it is a real pain. Any idea what needs to be done to keep the default
paper
size as A4 whent printing ? I am using a HP 6L printer.

Hoping to hear soon.

JB
