Re: [libreoffice-users] Printer Page/Paper Size?

Hi :)
Is there some way of rolling out the paper size to all documents or is it
now fixed in them all and needs changing for each and every document?

If MSO is picking up on the correct paper-size then i guess the correct
drivers are there.
Regards from
Tom :)
