Setting paper size for multi-tab numbers file?

i have a (currently) 3 tab spreadsheet that someone is working with me on. two of the tabs i print to 12 x 18 and one of the tabs i print to 8 x11.
right now i have to open inspector, set paper size to 8 x 11, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 8 x 11 printer, print the pages from this tab. then i go back to inspector, select 12 x 18, select next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 12 x 18 printer, print the pages. then i select the next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, and run a print to 12 x 18 paper.
this gets me all three documents if i didn't make a mistake somewhere and forget to select the correct printer or open inspector or whatever.
can someone tell me whether in numbers i can set a PAGE SIZE for a TAB (as i have done above) and have it stick or does the selection of a page size in numbers apply to the whole document? i keep sending this to my bookkeeper and getting it back and this is a whole lot of aggravation that is really messing up my workflow and there seems like i should be able to find a way to streamline this.
note: i am actually /receiving/ xls from my bookkeeper (and exporting to xls when i send it to her) and we also need to keep the tabs together b/c one tab is pulling info from the others but i am wondering if there could be some kind of workaround.
i'd like to ask her to just print the pages to pdf before she sends it to me but this is an added layer of work on her end that is not going to happen. also, i /can/ open in excel (i have excel for the mac) so if this works easier by printing from excel i will do that.
any experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS

hi Y. BIG time thank you for this. i was not aware this was such an issue. i definitely cannot have any ambiguities in my spreadsheet and customizing it in numbers is the whole reason i am spending this time formatting (i.e. to make it intuitive and visual).
that said, if accepting excel and then exporting to excel will cause problems i absolutely cannot have this.
can you help me a little more on what the problems are? i have already got a file with two tabs directly imported from Quickbooks (by my book keeper in excel) and a tab that she set up that pulls data from these tabs - and then i have MY tab that i have been customizing and proofing and fixing as i go along. more info on this work below.
are there commands i can run to clean this up?
what is considered OK to do in numbers if i am accepting excel (printing? adding new numerical entries)?
THANK YOU
background: right now i am /mostly/ doing formatting things like adding bold outlines or adding color or whatever but i have /also/ been dragging and dropping some rows to put them in a better place and fixing some cell sums that were either left out by my book keeper or which needed to be added to check THEIR work. are you saying that by doing this i am setting myself up for various formatting issues such as merged cells?
if so, once i finish the format of the spreadsheet and the tabs i can only exclusively open in numbers if this is necessary. are there some commands i can run to "clean up" issues? for instance can i go around the various tabs and unmerge cells to clean things up?
also, i definitely cannot split up tabs into individual documents as the customized spreadsheets are pulling numbers from a set of tabs that are quickbooks imports....

  • Set paper size for image on roll paper

    Q     I am trying to set the paper size for a H 30cm x W 80cm image using roll paper on an Epson R3000 printer. Computer Dell I7 64b and using Elements 9. Thank-you, John

    Garry - Many thanks for the reply. I was following the usual routine but I had never needed to use the 'User defined' box previously but it appears this is vital to the whole process when using roll-paper. I also found that the paper height becomes the Length when using roll-paper. I nearly entered the paper height (as requested) as 10m (length of roll) but you need to enter the length of the actual print required or the print process will start in the middle of the 10m roll! always seems to be that little extra missing from the manuals!  John

  • The multi-tabs is not working all the time. Windows7 Firefox 4.0.1 I have the correct opetions set for multi-tabs.

    The multi-tabs is not working. I have the correct options set for multi-tabs. But when I open Firefox and try to add a site from Bookmarks it uses the same tab that is opened.

    Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

  • How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

    I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
    is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
    I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
    tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
    some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
    when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
    Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
    otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

    It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
    It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
    Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

  • Unable to set paper size in SSRS (it always remain Letter)

    I am making a report in SSRS (SQL Server 2012). The main report has many sub reports under it. All main and sub reports have the following properties:
    Orientation: Landscape
    Margins: Custom
    Paper Size: A4
    When I export the report in Word, it always shows Paper Size as "Letter" and I have to change it to "A4" in it. Orientation and Margins are correctly exported. What's the problem with Paper Size? Why doesn't it export correct Paper Size
    as defined in SSRS which is "A4" and always resort to "Letter"?
    I see another use has same problem but no solution was identified.

    EDIT
    I just created a new basic test report with one Tablix in it. It is also showing same behavior i.e. even though I have set Paper Size to A4 when I export the report in Word, it changes to "Letter".

    Hi Frank,
    I viewed XML file for a report. The xml file doesn't store paper size name.
    <PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>0.25in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.5in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.5in</BottomMargin>
    Thanks.
    Remember to mark as an answer if this post has helped you.
    This is my master report file and looks like it has correct values. Because orientation is landscape hence height is smaller than width in my case.
    <PageHeight>8.27in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11.69in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>1in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.25in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.25in</BottomMargin>

  • How do I change the default paper size for printing?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2 weeks ago

    In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
    "about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
    "paper_size" gives a few results
    What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
    paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

  • Set height size for each state enabling browser scrollbar if needed..

    I'm working on a flex project, completely new to it. I'm trying to resize my application based on the set height size for each state. I'd like the wrapper to resize in the browser so that the  browser's scroll bar appears if needed. hope this makes sense....
    My enitial opening page I've set the height to 1000. now when I click on a link to another state from this page, we'll call it 'home' which i have set to 2000
    The page opens in its 2000 height but no scroll bar appears to scroll down in the browser...
    If anyone's done this or knows how to, I'd really appreciate your input.

    I've done something similar with a few of my apps, you have to use a little javascript on the html page and the ExternalInterface class in your app. Basically, you need to resize the "browser's" height based on your flash file.  So here's quick example:
    In your html template page (which you can edit in your flashbuilder project panel ->html-template->indext.template.html)
    in your html add the jscript function:
    <script type="text/javascript">
             function setWindowHeight(heightVal){
                 document.getElementById('theWindow').style.height=heightVal; // make sure to give the body tag an id of 'theWindow' or whatever
    </script>
    In your flashbuilder app you need to call the javascript fx, you can use the ExternalInterface class for this:
      ExternalInterface.call('setWindowHeight',val+'px');
    you need to send the jscript fx the height of your container or whatever you want it resized to....

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

  • Set Paper Source by Page Size for multi files

    I have over 500 pdf files. How can I batch set "Paper Source by Page Size" in Print Dialog Preset for these files.
    Thanks!

    Hi Andrew,
    Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
    The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
    Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
    Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

  • Setting A4 Paper Size for Smartform

    Hi,
    The Customer needs the output of a Smartform in A4 Paper but tilted.
    As the width of the required output is more and the height is less, the content will fit into one single page but the page has to be tilted. How can I acheive it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ishaq.

    hi
    good
    here is the procedure in sapscript,you can try the same in smartform,
    1.) Create the letter-size form, let's say: Z_DELNOTE.
    2.) Try to make the first form flexible enough so that it can serve as a 'master form', with the only required difference being paper size.
    3.) Copy that form into a new one, Z_DELNOTE_A4 and convert the paper size to A4. Adjust any windows as needed.
    4.) Set up output config to point to the first form.
    5.) In your print program, insert logic before the OPEN_FORM to append '_A4' to the form name field when appropriate (e.g. based on plant).
    6.) Perform all subsequent changes to the first form and overlay the second one as in step 3.

  • Manually setting up size for shapes or stroke width bug

    Hi everybody,
    Since I installed Photoshop CC 2014 I have the most annoying problem.
    I can't seem to change the sizes of my shapes or the stroke width manually.
    So let's say I created a square of 150x150 and I want a new size of exactly 126x126, I can't write the exact size in the top field.
    I write it and, once I press tab to leave the field, it puts back the previous value.
    Same for stroke width. I'm obliged to use the slider to be able to change the width of my stroke - which obviously is everything but precise.
    I don't know if I missed something but this is the first time is happening since I'm using Photoshop.
    Thanks for your help!
    Doro.
    UPDATE 29/01/15
    This is coming a bit late but it seems we found where the bug is coming from.
    I'm using a macbook pro retina 13 with a french keyboard. To type a number I need to press shift + the number.
    So to get back to my example I want to change the size of 150px to 126px. I would write the number 126 in the size field and to do so I would need to press the button shift + 126. The fact is that once you're interacting with the size field in the top menu, it seems that the shift button triggers the path operation "combine shapes"  and overrides my action of typing a number.
    Let us know if you can do something about it.
