WOW, I thought I was an advanced user for creating advanced tools for my team and my customers for over 20 years, I always struggled with the paper size as offered in the print setup page. Now I am an expert, with all my thanks

place your document on the flat (not the feeder) of the printer, before you scan the document PREVIEW IT, you will see a dotted outline square, but your document or picture isn't as big, crop your document or picture using the dotted square, go to the corner arrow and move it to the document or picture, then scan it, you don't need to resize anything, then once its scanned save it as you wish, it will open to the 8.5 x 8.11

So I've changed the image size (this is not the same as PAPER size by the way). Now the image (already created) is A4 size but I can only see a small part of it because it is way larger than the white area that it is set on. How do I make them both the same.

A fantastic tutorial, one which should be so much more obvious!

You just saved me from making line marks for my channel art! Now I can make it half decent!

[muzickolchers]

Thank.. YOU!!! Now I can set it to 8x10.

Hi what i need to do if only the paper stretch to the size i wanted but the image remain the same.

[manetho]

So if I get a paper the size of my image I can print it, right?

[aspen]

yea but whenever i go onto MS paint it has no paper to draw on its just blank and i dont know what to do

[NoName-upkw]

Why does MS paint automatically resize the image when you go to look at it in print preview?
