How do I make A4 default page size when priniting ?
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.

without changing anything else), then click Default... -- Suzanne S.

This seems to make change the default for all new documents. However, is
there a way to change the default for pre-existing documents? ppowell "Suzanne S.

No. Existing documents are saved with their own settings. Do you have "Allow
A4/Letter paper resizing" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options? -- Suzanne S.
