When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name

group contains one of two things, depending on the current paper size selection in the

Paper tab:

• If the paper size selection is a custom size previously defined, then the drop-

down menu contains the name of that custom size.

• If the paper size selection is a standard paper size, then the drop-down menu

shows the default name for a custom paper size, Untitled.

NOTE: In Windows 9x and Windows Me, the custom paper size

entry and storage are case sensitive; For example, the

names “Big” and “BIG” can co-exist. However, in

Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, the custom paper

size entry is case sensitive but storage is not. Therefore,

“Big” and “BIG” cannot co-exist.

The new name is compared only against the list of user-

defined custom paper names, and not against the

standard paper size names.

The complete set of titles for this button and the specific characteristics that determine its

title and behavior are discussed in the dynamic command button section

Name drop-down menu

The Name drop-down menu displays the name of the last selected custom paper size,

allows you to enter new names for custom paper sizes, and allows you to select from the

list of currently defined custom paper sizes.

The name displayed in the Name drop-down menu is one of three things, depending on

the following conditions:

• If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu and

the other controls in the dialog box have not been changed since then, the Name

drop-down menu displays the name of the last selected custom paper size.

• If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was

selected or saved, or if a saved paper size has just been deleted, then the Name

drop-down menu displays the default name of Untitled.

• If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of

saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain

in the drop-down menu display until a saved custom paper size has been

selected from the drop-down menu.

If a new name is typed into the Name drop-down menu, but the Save button is not

clicked, you should be able to change the width and height values without losing the

name. However, if a saved paper size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any

unsaved name or size values is lost without warning, and replaced by the values of the

selected custom paper size.
