SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you create a new form in the New/Setup Form dialogue box, and
click Page Size or Custom Size in Form Sizes section, the
dimensions in the Size section stay at 7 11/16 x 10 1/8. This occurs even
if a different paper size, such as legal, was specified in Page Setup.
 
When you create a Page Size Form in the New/Setup Form dialogue
box, the dimensions of the paper are based on the US Letter (8.5 x 11)
setting by default.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
You can change settings to use other types and sizes of forms.
 
To create a Database form based on a non-US Letter paper size, do the
following:
 
1. On the File menu, click Page Setup. Change the paper size to something
   other than US Letter, and then click OK.
 
2. On the Insert menu in a Database document, click Form.
 
3. In Form Sizes on the New/Set Up Form dialog box, click Custom.
 
4. Change the dimensions of the form in the Size section to match the paper
   size selected in Step 1.
