can anyone advise how to create a form with excel that is for continuous checks, form size: 8.5" x 7"?
Page Setup Does Not Do The Job.
The printer I'm using is an EPSON FX-880.
I've tried doing what the first two replyers suggested to no avail.

I think the kind of paper sizes you are presented depends on your printer. So for example, one person might have a custom page option for their printer but you might not have one for yourself.

The best I could find on my printer was:

File >> Print >> Properties, to get my printer properties.
From there I had an advanced button which I clicked.
From there I had the option of setting hte papersize to "postscript custom size" and from there I could enter any size I wanted.

Take a look around your printer properties and see if you have anything similar.

As LT said you have to setup a custom paper size in your printer properties. But I would really not use Excel for this. Both Quicken and Money allow you to use computer checks. Both are inexpensive.

Nevermind, I got the answer by calling the EPSON support line.

And was it the same answer?

No, it was:
start/settings/printers/click on the printer to be used/file/server properties/create new form
There you have it!
Thanks again, anyway.

Um, yeah it was the same answer. What we told you is that you need to create a custom form in your printer properties. Since your never specified what printer we couldn't give you the specifics that Epson did. But that doesn't change that the solution was the same.
