This may or may not help. If you go to Tools and then Options, and click on the Forms/Reports tab, there is a place to enter in a template to use. I'm not exactly sure how you'd use this, but maybe you can.

Use the page set up on the file menu

In the template to use textbox "Normal" is written. What should I write??

Use Page Set Up

The Page set up does not give us the option to specify Custome Page sizes.

Use's Rich's suggestion, it's what you want.

Yes, it does. When you first go to Page Set Up, you are on the Margins tab. Go to the next tab and change your paper size.

Maybe I am missing something. But In my page set up screen I can,t find a way to specify my own page size. I have attached a screenshot of the page set up screen.
Or is it bc of the printer??

Yep, you got me there. I assumed it would let you select your own custom size but now I see it does not. Maybe Rich will have the answer?

Scroll down, you should have custom as an option, if not I suspect your printer doesn't support it

Goto page setup as suggested.
on the page tab click use specific printer.
Click on the printer button and you will get a printer selection screen.
Select your printer and click the properties button.
You can now select the paper size and there is an option to have a custom size. Use the custom size button to set this up.

This paper size selection will only refer to the form / report you set it up on.

I use this to set labels to print on a label printer and the rest of my reports to go to an A4 printer, all without the user having to do anything!
Very usefull if this is what you want!

Select your printer and click the properties button.

I am still not getting the custom page size option. I have 3 printers connected. I tried selecting each one and clicking properties, but i couldn't get the custom size option. I used the following 3 printers
1) HP Deskjet 840C
2) HP LAserjet 6L
3) Epson LQ 2500 (Dot matrix)

I print in custom size pages using MS Word.
