photo paper sizes

Hello
Where can I find the sizes of photo papers when I try to print that say words like A7, A3, Higaki, etc ?
It is difficult to print with these unknown sizes never mind metric.
Thanx
Pete

 

What program are you trying to print from?

Most programs have a Page Setup in the File menu - that will allow you to setup custom sizes, or use preset sizes.

 

I see the choices; I just do not know how big Hagaki, A3, A4, etc are.

 

Go here to see some of what you are looking for.

Do a search for printer paper sizes.

hagaki is a card stock. That print setting is the alignment for printing on hagaki cards.

For some countries, the standard paper size is Letter; for others, the standard size is A4.You would select this check box if you want Word to automatically adjust documents formatted for another country's standard paper size (for example, A4) so they print correctly on your country's standard paper size (for example, Letter.

 

Hi Tae
That's what I was looking for, thanx. Now my printing will improve.
While I have you on the phone; I back up my work on floppies in which I change the data weekly. The material is, i.e., budget #'s, doctors records, important letters etc. I have been comfortable with that then along came cd-rw's which I thought would do the same job but with more room. I find I cannot delete files and manipulate them like floppies. What do people use these cd-rw's for? I fiddled with them and except for pictures and music they do not offer the versatility of the A: drive.
I'm sort of a novice so I can't grasp many backup suggestions given me; they fly right over my head.
I guess I'm not asking a question, rather your point of view given the information I've written to you.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Pete:

I regularly back up my data to a cdr.
Instead of worrying about erasing floppies I just keep a small collection of cd's.
You could use cdrw's and just erase them each time.

Untill recently I had been pretty complacent about backing up but my sister lost years of photos, correspondance, bookmarks, e-mail addresses and music by having everything on a single hard drive that crashed.

What I have done is with C as my operating drive I keep all my data files on D in case of an os problem.
I then back-up to cd and have recently purchased a laptop and keep photos stored there too.
I might yet even copy my data back to c from d.

Might seem kinda extreme but my sister still is teary eyed about it and she lost her data six months ago.

 

I don't know about most people, but i hardly ever use a cdrw. I just use regular Cd's and if i am backing up, use the multi session option. This backs up only the files that have been changed, and cross links them to the original. I buy Cd's by the 100 pack, and it costs about 5 to 20 cents each. Pretty cheap. I use Nero burning ROM for my program. 1.44 meg vs 700 meg. Thats 486 floppies per CD! However you do it, always back it up. It's not [SIZE=3]if[/SIZE] your hard drive dies, but [SIZE=3]when[/SIZE] your hard drive dies.
there are alot of folks here who probably back up more than i do, so maybe you can get some good recommendations.

 

Not sure why you cannot delete files from a CD-RW. Its treated just like any other drive. That is, the computer should treat it just like the hard drive or a floppy.

What error do you get when you try to delete a file?

Do you work off the cd-rw disc or do you keep the work on the hard drive and just copy to the cd-rw?

 

Thanx for all the help with both the photo paper and the cd-rw's.
I need either floppies or the cd-rw's b/c I change data daily.
I think I made a mistake saying I cannot erase a single file; I'm going back to practise and I'lll be back.
Thanx again
