Why locked form print on different size paper for different users
We created a form in Word, then locked it so the users can only input their
information in the correct fields. We print it and it prints on 8 1/2 x 11. Our users print it and it varies from 11 x 14 to 81/2 by 14. What do we need to do so the form prints 8 1/2 x 11 for all users?

Why locked form print on different size paper for differentusers
Include logic in the form to specify the paper size when the user hits
Print. Otherwise the paper size will default to whatever the user last specified.

Why locked form print on different size paper for different us
I "could" explain, but it's a very long explanation and there are many
different ways you could accomplish this. Ultimately, you will need a technical person to solve this problem for you. You need to create a VBA macro in the form that intercepts the Print command and sets some options for you. When you find your technical person, they will know how to do that. I hesitate to type it all out here because there's pages of it, and it needs you to make some technical choices based on the software environment you are working in. There's an example he http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...tSavePrint.htm Cheers On 4/2/07 4:49 AM, in article , "Frustrated in ND" wrote: I'm not a technical person, can you explain 'include logic in the form'?
