LaserJet CP1025nw, Windows 7
A custom paper size can be created in either the printing preferences within the printer or in the page setup in Word 2010. I added a custom size with its own name and later realized the size was incorrect. The new size appears in the drop-down menus and I would like to remove it.
How does one remove any of the paper sizes for this printer in Windows 7?
Thanks!

Here's what happens:
The page size I created (or thought I did - perhaps it's a preset size?) is 5.0 x 8.0. All steps are executed until Step 5. After selecting the "custom" button, there is no delete button. Where you have the red box around "delete" what I see is "save" and under "name" is "untitled." When that box is selected, the remainder of the drop-down menu is blank.
So now I'm wondering...is 5.0 x 8.0 a preset size? And, if so, how can this or other preset sizes be deleted? There are several sizes I will never use.
Thanks for your continued assistance.
