How do I create a custom paper size in Access 2002? In the
printer properties dialog box, there is no Paper tab or
way to create a custom paper size.
 
Do you have access to custom paper sizes for that same printer on that
same machine in different applications (like Word)?

Custom paper sizes is a function of your printer driver, not Access. Yours
might not offer that.

Setting up custom paper sizes is totally different in the Win NT
4/2000/Win XP environment compared to Win 95/98/ME.

Go into the list of Printers under the Settings button from the Start
menu. You may need to do this on the print server. Then click on
File >> Server Properties Then you can create a new form with the
sizes you want on it as well as a name.

Then you can follow the below steps to choose the just created Paper
Size. Go into the design of the report, Click 'File',Page Setup',
Click the 'Page' tab., Select 'Specific Printer',, Pick the printer
you are using., Click 'Properties' then the 'Paper' tab., In 'Paper
Size' select 'Custom'. and choose your just created Paper Size.
