TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Thanks to those who responded so promptly to my question, but I think I've
solved this one myself. (Forgot to mention I am using a PC, btw). Here's
how:
1. Click Start > Settings > Printers
2. Dbl-click the Distiller Assistant printer
3. In that printer's dialog box, choose Printer > Document defaults.
3. The printer's property sheet opens: under the Page setup tab, set the
paper size to A4.
I've also set the other print-sensitive apps (like Acrobat Exchange and my
deskjet printer) to A4 for good measure.
