Duhh!  I've just looked back, and that's exactly what you said 
originally. And I didn't. Sorry - and yes, that fixes it; thank you (twice!)


But - isn't this a bit of an odd user interface? You set the brochure 
option on /this/ tab, enable setting the paper size on /that/ tab, then 
click a button on yet another tab to open the dialogue to actually set 
the size. Could this not be tidied up? (And the defaults must have 
changed - I'm sure I've never had to worry about this before) Nor, 
AFAICS, is this mentioned anywhere in the help file (which I did read!)


Incidentally, I notice that the 'brochure' setting now is stored with 
the document (it used not to be), as is 'Use only paper tray....' 
whereas "Use only size from printer preferences" isn't saved and needs 
resetting every time the document is opened. But thankfully the paper 
size and orientation are saved. Curious design.


Anyway, problem solved; apologies again, and thanks for your patience.
