      check button.

      If you chose Non-Standard, click on the Width and
      Height check buttons and enter the measurements you

  4.  To set the dimensions to be in pixels, inches,  or
      centimeters, click on the appropriate radio button.  The
      measurements in the Width and Height check buttons
      change accordingly.

      If you chose Non-Standard from the Size options menu,
