I have defined a specific paper size using “Format / Page style, Paper format, Format : User (16.50 / 24), Apply and OK” than I am trying to use it to print my document : “File / Print, Page Layout, Paper size” but I do not find the “User” page style in the list !!
So my question is how to define and use a specific paper size ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Unfortunately not
The backup solution is to settle the margin but I would prefer finding a solution thru paper size
It is the usual way. Your printer might demand other settings such as manual feed or to have the special paper size set first for the paper in the tray. The driver might use different units to define the paper size, make sure that you convert correctly or you can accidentally try to specify a size outside the capacity of the printer, that is, too small or too big. You might need to look at the manual for your particular printer to see how to print on custom paper sizes.
Page formatting - including the paper size - is done per document, and can be modified per page style.
Documents are always based on a template - which is a document itself.
Create (per module Writer/Calc/Draw/) a template where you set the wanted paper size for the defaut page, and create the documents for which you want this default based on these templates.
The paper size coming with the very first built-in template on which secondary templates are based depends on the locale.
(This is not from “definite knowledge” but from experience. Please tell me in what I was wrong.)
Is your paper of size ISO 216 : A2 ?
If so, why do you describe it so roughly using an unspecified unit (supposed “inch”)?
See ISO 216 - Wikipedia .
