Shannon: I don't know your operating system, but we use NT
and I have to do as Steve Hudson has suggested -- namely,
create a custom printer driver by editing a ppd file and
using Adobe's PS Installer utility. I'd be happy to provide
details offlist if you think it might help.
As I understand it, this particular problem only occurs with
NT. With other operating systems you can pass custom page
sizes from Word to Acrobat with no problems.
