When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains
one of two things, depending on the current paper-size selection on the Paper tab:

If the paper-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu
contains the name of that custom size.

If the paper-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default
name Untitled for a custom media size.

NOTE

In Windows 98 and Windows Me, two names for the same size media can coexist (for

example, "big" and "BIG" can both be used as names for custom-size media measuring 8.4
inches by 11 inches). In Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, both uppercase
and lowercase names can be used, but they cannot be used to name the same media size.

The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom media-size names, and not
against the standard media-size names.

The complete set of titles for this button and the specific characteristics that determine its title and
capabilities are discussed in the

Save, Delete, or Rename

section.

Name

The Name drop-down menu shows the name of the custom media size that was selected most
recently. Use the Name drop-down menu to select from the list of currently defined custom media
sizes, or to type a new name for a custom media size.

The name that appears in the Name drop-down menu is one of three things, depending on the
following conditions:

If a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu and the other
controls in the dialog box have not been changed since, then the Name drop-down menu shows
the name of the last selected custom media size.

If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or
if a saved media size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu shows the default
name of "Untitled."

If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new
size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu until a
saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu.

If you type a new name into the Name drop-down menu, but then do not click the Save button, you
should be able to change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if a saved
media-size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any unsaved name or size values are lost
without warning, and replaced by the values of the selected custom media size.
