TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Good suggestion but no dice. The page setup option has only options for
sending an image to the printer, and I couldn't find anything relevant
in the help when search "page size." There's also no "page size" command
in any of the menus.
The workaround I've decided to use is to create an image that's just a
giant white nothing (GWN) and paste my original image onto it. I figure
I'll then keep the GWN around and use it if the same situation occurs in
the future.
(And hey, did I just invent a new piece of tech writer jargon -- GWN?)

Maybe something about page size or page setup?
Just guessing. I use an ancient copy of SnagIt.
