Difference between xl11x17 and xlTabloid (PageSetup)?
 

xl11x17 and xlTabloid are both 11x17 page sizes. For
PageSetup.PaperSize I tried the more intuitively named xl11x17 but
that threw an error.

Anyone know what the difference is?

Thanks,

Nick,
Check the object browser for the correct spellings for the values of this
enum. In my XL2003:

Const xlPaper11x17 = 17 (&H11)
Member of Excel.XlPaperSize

Const xlPaperTabloid = 3
Member of Excel.XlPaperSize

Still depends on if the print driver supports these values.

Yeah, I typed it wrong. The constants are xlPaper11x17 and
xlPaperTabloid. Both produce an 11x17 paper size, though.

I did find a KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244639/en-us)
that lets you enumerate the paper sizes supported by the active
printer, but I find that between printers the names are consistent for
the same paper size. I guess the option will be to set it and test for
errors.

Nick,
It will depend how the driver was written. Try one value and if it fails,
try the other.

Seems there also:
xlPaperLedger. Ledger (17 in. x 11 in.)
which the same physical size but rotated (?).

I never had the need to print to such paper, so I have no idea which is more
commonly used.
