Page Setup Dialog

Also see Printing

Use this command to select a printer and a printer connection. This command presents a Page Setup dialog, where you specify the printer (Windows XP and 2000 only, use Print Setup in Windows Vista and 7) and its connection

The following options allow you to select the destination printer and its connection.

Paper Size

Select the size of paper that the document is to be printed on. Note that you may need to choose Printer and then Properties to set up custom page sizes. You can also access the printer through the Windows Control Panel to permanently set up custom page sizes.

Paper Source

Some printers offer multiple trays for different paper sources. Specify the tray here.

Orientation

Choose Portrait or Landscape. Portrait is usually longer vertically than horizontally. Landscape is usually longer horizontally than vertically.

Margins

Set the amount of blank space or margin you want on each side of the sheet of paper. Note that your printer driver controls the minimum settings that you can use here. If you enter a value that is less the your printer's minimum allowable setting, the printer driver will automatically change the value you entered to the minimal allowed value.
