Change printer paper size or orientation when Auto Size is on

You can specify the paper size and orientation for each page in a multi-page diagram, independent of the other pages. If Auto Size is active, it will make the drawing page match the size and orientation of the printer paper.

The paper size outlines that are created by page break lines (called tiles) on the current page in your diagram are resized to match the printer paper size.

To set the size of the paper for printing

1. On the Design tab, in the Page Setup group, click Size.

2. Click the printer paper size you want to use.

Change the page orientation to portrait or landscape when Auto Size is on

The following procedure sets the tile orientation (as shown by the page break lines) for the current page.

2. Click either Portrait or Landscape.
