How to change publisher one page tile default

Anonymous

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?

Aha! I have a HP B209a printer which I only installed about the same time as I update Office but the problem hasn't always persisted with HP. I have another HP printer at my house in France (which I rarely use Publisher on) so I will try that when I'm next there to see if the problem replicates itself. Cheers!

Thanks Adrian.

A thought occurs:
- is this problem affecting only those people with a default HP printer?
- or does it affect others too, with other brands of printer as their default?
Mine is an HP 309a. Since publisher communicates with the printer before laying out the print-place (the screen where you set your printing parameters), I wondered if the "Tiled" setting is generated by interaction with particular types of printer in use.

P.S. If anyone at Microsoft is listening to these evidential reports of a problem with your software, do let us all know what you're doing about it.

I have been frustrated as **** with this issue - I just haven't had time to search for a solution until I just wasted about half a colour cartridge on two halves of a high quality A2 print!

I have used the link above to support you all...for what good it will do!

Regards
