New form doesn't show up in paper size list

[JHD]

WinXP Pro: I created, named, and saved a new custom form in
Printers and Faxes | Server Properties | Forms. However it doesn't show up
in the list of available sizes either in the printer device properties page
nor in the page setup dialog in Word. This problem has been posed in other
threads but never answered. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
J

the new form must comply to the supported paper size in the PPD or GPD from
the vendor that was installed with the driver. Look for CustomSize in the
file.
*Option: CUSTOMSIZE
{
*rcNameID: =RCID_DMPAPER_SYSTEM_NAME
*MaxSize: PAIR(3420,8280)
*MinSize: PAIR(1417,1417)
*MinLeftMargin: 49
*MaxPrintableWidth: 2880
*CustCursorOriginX: %d{49}
*CustCursorOriginY: %d{43}
*CustPrintableOriginX: %d{49}
*CustPrintableOriginY: %d{43}
*CustPrintableSizeX: %d{PhysPaperWidth - 98}
*CustPrintableSizeY: %d{PhysPaperLength - 143}
*Command: CmdSelect
{
*Order: DOC_SETUP.10
*Cmd: "<1b>(p<0800>"%m{(PhysPaperLength - 143 + 5) /
6}"<0000>"%m{min(480,(PhysPaperWidth - 98 + 5) / 6)}"<0000>"
}
}
}
