When you are printing to a plotter from Microsoft Word, you may want to
print to a page larger than 22 inches by 22 inches (many plotters
support 24 inch or wider paper sizes). Sizes larger than 22 inches are not
supported by Word.
When you click Page Setup on the File menu in Word 6.0 and later, or click
Page Setup on the Format menu in Word version 2.0 for Windows, Word will
not let you use the spin controls to set either the height or width larger
than 22 inches. If you type a size larger than 22 inches into either the
Height or Width box, and then click the OK button, you will get an error
stating:
Word 6.0 and Later
The measurement must be between .1" and 22"
Word 2.0
The measurement must be between 0" and 22".
The only way Word will let you choose the OK button to exit Page Setup
is to go back and set the size to a number between .1" and 22" in Word
for Windows 6.0 and later or between 0" and 22" in Word for Windows 2.0.
CAUSE
The maximum page size of a document in Word is 22 inches by 22 inches. Even
though some Windows printer drivers will support larger page sizes, Word is
limited to 22 inches by 22 inches.
