I don't know where you got the idea that Word overrides the printer settings.
Word uses the printer driver to create a print preview. I usually install the
driver for the actual printer that will ultimately be used to print the
document(s) I create. After installing, simply say "no" to the Print Test
Page prompt. Then, you'll be able to see what your document will look like.
Of course, I'm assuming you're going to use a different printer than the one
you're working with now to print the custom size.

printer is overriding Word.any suggestions?
