How to change publisher one page tile default

I love the new 8.5" page default size. Yay! It is the size I use most often. But why on earth would Publisher make "tile" the default setting? I can't tell you how many times a one page simple print job slid out of the computer in two pages. I have to set each job that way? It's another step I don't want to make. How do I change the default to print the single page I am seeing as one page?

Also on the task pane, you can't scroll from page to page, you have to click on each one?

    I could print 11x17 pages no problem until I upgraded Publisher to 2010. Now, every time I want to print an 11x17 page, it wants to tile it, and it gives me no other options.

    I have since purchased a program called Serif Page Plus which is 100x better at about half the price, and I never have printer issues with it.

    You can find information on the program here:

    Ann,

    I'm sure you're right on all counts:

    --- why should you have to

    --- I don't think they're listening

    --- I don't think they would change it even if they were

    --- it's thoroughly maddening

    It's a real shame. But I'll still use Publisher because mostly everything else about it is so good for the price.

    This problem is driving me batty too. It comes up with both my Ricoh and HP printers. Fortunately, I usually catch it in Print Preview, but why should I have to?

    I added my complaint to the feedback site mentioned above, but I will be surprised if anything is done about it. I don't think anyone cares.
