Hi,

Another style will be to specify the size of the page.

All that is needed for the template editor of printed documents for editing which I use a modified version UWord.

I think the editor UWord should understand the turn of the page and the size of paper (if the user wishes to set this).

Therefore, I propose to extend the specification QTF.

What do you think about this?

I will think about, but not sure. Definitely not doing it before "release".

Page size is in RTF specifications, why not in QTF ones ?

I'm using Sergey's RepGen package, that works with QTF format and reports can be prepared with UWord. It would be very useful to be able to adjust the page size inside the QTF template rather than doing this in the code !

I'm developping an application with several reports and some use a different page size (ie pre-printed forms). The right place to specify the page size would be in the QTF template, not in preferences in the application, more especially when preferences have to be adjusted for each report !

I am not fundamentally opposed to this idea. It would help me if I had some clue about what behaviour such page size is supposed to affect... It would also be quite hard to have more than single page size per document.

OK, I can see that Report could take the page size. Perhaps it could be used to somehow preset print dialog, at least landscape mode. Anything else?
