RE: [SLE] Warning to Americans!
Now there is another thing.... "liters" instead of (in proper English) "litres" and "center" instead of (in proper English) "centre".
In defense of the Brits, I just was looking at a 1969 brochure for a Ford car. In it was written, "powered by a 5 litre (302 c.i.d) engine." So there you have it - an American brochure spelling the word with the "e" at the end. Wrangling this post back on-topic, I'm curious if the OP was able to set his/her printer correctly. Now that we've determined the world is non- standard, I'm guessing the person should make sure the default paper size is set to whatever the locally accepted version is. -- kai

As the original poster, I'll mention again that I posted my comment *after* I had solved the problem in the hope of solving a mystery for others (other Americans, that is). Paul

Ahh, okay, then. I kind of was always used to setting the locale so I wasn't surprised to be needing to set A4 as the default paper size for my system. Enjoy!! -- kai - www.perfectreign.com 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.
