I have a tablet pc and use the ink function for taking notes in class (works
great). I have the page size set as auto. when i go to print (scale set as
fit content to width), my notes are tiny and have a big space on the right
hand side of the page. I have margins set at one inch.

My tablet allows me to write in either a landscape or portrait position, I
prefer the landscape position, but have to use the portrait because the
screen width (in this position) is close to the width of standard paper, thus
when I print, notes come out correctly.

The only work around that I can find so that I can work in landscape mode is
to select page size as letter. When I do this, I now have a set writing area
that will make sure that when printing, the size of my notes are correct.

My main problem (after a really long intro...) is that when using a set page
size, the ability to add extra space at the end of a page is lost.
Therefore, I have to add a new page/subpage. This quickly clutters up my
pages tab, breaks up the continuity in my notes, and takes more time than
just hitting the add space button when I need it.

Is there a way to set the page width as 8.5" so I can keep my handwriting
proportional while having the flexibility of the "auto" function to have an
infinite length?

Thanks for your help. Sorry for the long explanation of my problem.

Sorry to say this :-( :-(

In ON there is absolutely *NO* way to combine the two ways of page
layout.

Although it has often been asked for to implement a combination of
"fixed" size format and the "automatic" page size, even in ON2010 the
situation is just the same.

We have to live with it.
