PP2000 on win2000 I change the paper size in File | page setup odd thing its only changing the size (I do have presentations where they are all the same). I think this is since SP3 to test, open a new presentation (blank), change the paper size to say 8X6 and switch to the notes view or the notes or handout master  SignatureMarko Jotic, MMCT Holdings Int.

From the notebooks of Lazarus Long. Robert A. Heinlein. Handmade knives, antique designs, exotic materials at http://www.knifeforging.com/ Interesting. I see what's happening here. You can't set the notes page size in PPT, just the orientation. PowerPoint picks up the notes page size from the current printer settings. Try this: Put PPT in Notes Page view Choose File, Print Select the printer you want then click Properties In the printer properties dialog, click Advanced. Choose a distinctively proportioned paper size so that the result will be obvious. Click OK to dismiss Advanced Options Click OK to dismiss the printer properties dialog box Click CANCEL to dismiss PowerPoint's print dialog w/o printing anything. Now your notes page size has changed to match whatever you set in Advanced Options. > No, what is missing is the change in PP > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Sorry, I don't understand.

I don't think that is right: PP defaults to a 10 X 7.5 screen page, switch to the notes page it is 7.5 x 10, not 8.5 x 11 my standard printer paper. Its not that I can't use a 7.5 x 10 notes page, its that I worked 4 files simoultaneously and got different results, I believe SP3 was in the middle of that: One file has the notes page unchanged at 7.5 x 10, another matches the screen page size. the inconsistency is annoying and frustrating.

It doesn't seem to automatically switch notes page sizes; I only see it if I go to the print dialog, use printer properties to change size then cancel the printout. Changing back to letter size in the same way seems to return it to 7.5x11 > Its not that I can't use a 7.5 x 10 notes page, its that I worked 4 > files simoultaneously and got different results, I believe SP3 was in > the middle of that: One file has the notes page unchanged at 7.5 x 10, > another matches the screen page size. the inconsistency is annoying and > frustrating.

In any case I will be using the standard 7.5 x 11 for notes, convenient that it is, I was just wondering how to change it since I somehow did it in some files.

That's the one I can't quite figure out. Opening a presentation with the printer default set to some weird page size doesn't seem to affect the notes pages, but if you then go into printer properties from PPT's print dialog box, THEN the notes page size changes to match printer default. (Interestingly, Undo actually Undoes the change - handy for testing porpoises) Looks like we at least have a way to reset it - if you work out how it got whacked in the first place, drop a line here. > Thanks a lot, Signature-- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Featured Presenter, PowerPoint Live 2004 October 10-13, San Diego, CA www.PowerPointLive.com ================================================ >>OK, I see that, the paper size minus 1/2 inch margins >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > size changes to match printer default.
