Question from one of my users.
wants to print a 4” (horizontal) x 6” (vertical) card. Do you know how to get this in BRW? It seems like can only set “Paper sizes” and I can’t tell which is closest.
Any ideas?

Hi, Jim. After the report has been designed via the Wizard process, click on the "Page Setup" tab in the BRW Designer. Then, click on the "Page Setup" menu button on the "Page Layout" group, and change the paper size - you should find "Index Cards (4" x 6")" in that list.
Hope that helps,

Hmm. I show a _lot_ more paper size options than that. I wonder if it depends on what printer(s) you have available - it may take the available sizes from what the printer(s) say they can support?

My co-worker sees a different and more extensive list (but no index cards).

Hi, Jim. I think the fact that you, I, and your co-worker all see different lists is a pretty strong argument that it's printer-dependent; you'll only see the paper sizes that are supported by your attached printer(s).
(Sorry, I know you asked for "anyone else", but unless you want me to put on a mask and change the pitch of my voice, I don't think there's anyone else who'll have an answer for you
)

FYI it is indeed printer dependent.
