Page Setup

I have a printer that will print tabloid size pages (11x17). As far as I can find, Numbers has no Page Setup menu item. How to do I tell it I want to print a tabloid size sheet?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Numbers does have Page Setup, it's just not in the File menu like most programs. It is in the document inspector.

Jim,

Look in Document Inspector, Paper Size.

Thanks for the quick replies. I got it to print by dragging it into Pages. I can't get Tabloid to show up in the Document inspector. Lots of other sizes, no tabloid. But it will show up in Pages.

Hi Peggy

Have you an idea able to explain why iWork guys don't play the rule with Page Setup?

Every program is supposed to apply Human Interface Guidelines pages 179…181 and 257…258.

With this rule, Page Setup is always in the same location.
In Pages it is in the Document Inspector but in Numbers it is in the Sheet Inspector.
I apologize but this kind of thing resembles to a µSoft shyt.

Jim,

If you set the Printer Setup to: "Any Printer", Tabloid will be one of your choices in the Numbers Document Inspector. Apparently Numbers doesn't realize that your particular printer will accept 11 X 17 paper.
