How print an invitation that is not 8-1/2 x 11? e.g., 4.25 x 11? .
When I change paper size to 4.25 x 11 the invitation looks fine on the
screeen. But when I feed the custom paper through the feeder to print on my HP laser printer, the text prints as if I'm printing on 8-1/2 x 11. I don't understand--if I print an envelope, which is roughly the same dimensions, it works fine. I was hoping to find a template, but all the templates assume you're printing on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Help! |

Some printers don't handle custom sizes well. If the size is not one that is
supported by the printer driver, your best bet is to set up your text on a Letter-sized document and increase the margins as needed to place it in the 4.25" x 11" position. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thanks. I did what you suggested with one modification--I created a Word "frame" on a letter-sized document--the frame is the dimensions of the paper size and I start the frame at a position on the page so that it will be in the 4-1/4 X 11 position.
