[comp.sys.mac] defaults in PageSetup

keeshu@nikhefk.UUCP (Kees Huyser) (09/09/87)

I'm stuck with a relatively small problem, and am looking for a solution.

How do I change the default papersize in pagesetup. It comes default on
US Letter, but since the rest of the world (including me) uses A4 Letter
I would like that to be the default.

*small flame on*
Why is there no PageSetup-Setup so you can change any default to the one
you would like it to be. Even for the Mac users in the US I can imagine
there are some who would like the default to be f.i. US Legal or such.
I'd rather not have to change from US Letter to A4 Letter *every time* I
choose Page Setup!
*small flame off; trailing smoke...*

Can anybody help ?

Somewhere in my piles of disks (can you imagine a MacII with only ONE
floppy drive??  I don't have to, I live it (sigh)) I have a program
called "printer" that does exactly what you want.  I don't know
if it will work with finder5.5/system4.1 or not.  I'll dig it up and
check, and post it or email it to you.
