Continuous roll adhesive paper

[Guest guest]

Here's a question I should have asked a long time ago:

I use continuous roll adhesive paper for one account (not the fanfolded sheets

but one gigantic big roll of truly continuous paper). I am using Word 2000. I

have it set up so that " continuous " is selected under paper source. Under paper

size, the longest measurement it will let me enter is 20 inches, so I can get

roughly two 8.5 x 11 inch paper size before it puts in a page break. (I have

my top & bottom page margins set as low as they can go, too.) This client likes

their dictations to be printed on that paper one after the other, so I type them

all within one document and print it that way. Is there some way that I can get

Word to recognize the paper as being truly continuous instead of putting those

blasted page breaks in there? It wastes space that way and it is awkward if it

puts the page break in the middle of one patient's note. I can use hard page

breaks to separate the patients but then the printer I have (Lexmark) puts an

entire 20-inch " sheet " of blank space between the notes. The same thing happens

if I do each patient as a unique document & then print that way. I asked the

paper supplier what their other clients are doing and got the wonderful response

of " I don't know. " I'm not sure if this is a printer issue or a Word issue, but

I think the problem is within Word because " continuous " doesn't seem to mean

" continuous " in the context of rolled paper but rather that they assumed

" continuous " would be the type of paper that has those perforations. Any ideas?

Is anyone else using this awful paper? My client insists it is what they want

so I don't have a choice in the matter.
